The Spectrum graphic novels are typically around 70 pages each, equivalent to two comic book issues. They are deluxe, large-format editions, yet still portable, with particular attention to presentation. The books are printed on parchment-like paper, bound with vinyl covers, and some feature hot-stamped prints. Each volume also includes an engaging essay related to the content or the artist, adding depth to the reading experience.
