Rosie's first fanwriting credit: Journey Planet's 2020 issue on Star Wars and the Mandalorian
Look Ma, I managed to land in the first twenty pages of an issue of Journey Planet!
Seriously, though, some of the issues of Journey Planet have been tremendously huge, but the latest issue is a nice and reasonable 48 pages. Edited by John Coxon, James Bacon, Chris Garcia and Alyssa McKersie, it is the first issue since Chris got to move back out of a hotel and be HOME, post the August 2020 California Wildfires, and is is also the first issue featuring input from our own Rosie Gray, which didn't just share her thoughts for the article -- she actually sat down and typed a sentence of her very own on our shared google doc!
It was an article co-authored by her father and myself, but we wanted her in on it, because it was about a costume we'd all worked on for HER. Brian gave it the somewhat momentous title, Halloween as Gateway Drug: This is the Way, and ended it with a line that pretends Rosie has not been dressing up in homemade cosplay since she was 4, but I decided to go along with that, since he is the STORYTELLER in the family and it makes for better story.
In any case, you can check out it and some other nice articles about recent Star Wars spin-offs and great Mandalorian fan art at the Journey Planet 56 web page.
As we expected, they were not able to publish all the process photos we submitted. You can see the other three that detailed the foam cutting and gluing process on flickr here or by clicking on the image below.
