In this special 100th issue collector's edition, a "who's who" of visual effects artists will engage in a probing assessment of state-of-the-art visual effects, and its future. Also, feature articles on The Polar Express, Chris Van Allsburg's classic children's tale now made into a computer-animated motion picture. And artists at Industrial Light & Magic contribute visual magic to director Brad Silverling's adaptation of the first book in the phenomenally popular Lemony Snicket series.
