A collection of the best artwork from the 2004 Spectrum awards. As always this is a great collection, although certainly not every one of the hundreds of pieces is to my taste. I do find that the actual prize winners in the various categories are usually not my favorite works. The only slight negative is that there is a little too much of Arnie Fenner's political views in the introduction.
