“When the show premiered on March 28, 1999, it was heralded as one of the best-looking shows on television. This book is a tribute to all the talented artists who helped mold, build, and shape the beautiful, stunning, epic, and (twenty-five years later) ever-expanding Futurama Universe,” writes Claudia Katz in her forward.
“Abrams has a long history with Matt Groening and books on The Simpsons,” said Abrams ComicArts Editor-in-Chief Charles Kochman. “We are honored to expand our publishing to include The Art of Futurama, working closely with Matt and his team on this comprehensive and definitive visual history, one that is a must-have for any animation, television, or sci-fi fan.”
The Art of Futurama is now available in bookstores.
