Reception

Dave Langford reviewed The Science Fiction Film Source Book for White Dwarf #73, and stated that "To pick a random example, the entry on Wizards dismisses it as 'comic-orientated' without even mentioning the influence of Vaughn Bode, or Ian Miller's powerfully effective backgrounds. Nitpicking, though, is a game with no ending." [1]
