|a "Pictures always represent frozen moments, whereas words describe the patterns of time; thus, their union is problematic, especially when the illuminator reinterprets a fantasy classic. Anachronism and other paradoxes characterize fantasy, yet it has become a multimillion dollar industry today, partly because of the special effects that allow the impossible to appear plausible. Through a comparison of the Star Wars saga with its comic book adaptation, the author contends that the 'imagic' effects of fantasy movies are an outgrowth of comparable paradoxes in pictures and texts" -- Dustjacket.

|a The central and later decades of the twentieth century have not only been marked by the popularity of fantasy in general but of fantastic graphics in particular. As a literature relatively new to academic consideration, however, fantasy lacks a universally accepted definition, and no previous author has adequately studied the genral differences between the literalness of realistic illustration and the paradoxes of fantastic illumination. In "Illuminated Fantasy," James Whitlark presents a detailed analysis of the significance of picture/text discrepancy - its history, its various forms, and its psychological complexities.
