None of this would have affected Pan were it not for her friendship with Tara, Princess Tara, who Pan helps to escape her fate, escape being married off to a man she doesn’t even know, and escape into space to who knows where… leaving Pan behind, heartbroken, and hated by her world. The futurism of spaceships and hoverboards that we see in the early pages is in stark contrast to the ancient patriarchal idea of each world’s ruling Royal family offering up their Princesses to other Royals through the Cosmoknights tournaments. She enjoys life with her trusty dog Thistle and grumpy cat Noodle, and plays tabletop roleplaying games as often as she can.The first book of the series introduced us to the world of Pan, whose small-town life on a backwater planet in this wonderfully realised futuristic meets neo-medieval system of planets. She is currently the artist on GLOW(IDW Publishing, Netflix) with writer Tini Howard, and has also worked as a colorist, cover artist and interior artist on well-known titles such as Samurai Jack, Tomb Raider, and Jem and the Holograms.

About the Author Hannah Templer is a queer cartoonist and graphic designer. On the run and off the galactic grid, Pan discovers the astonishing secrets of her neo-medieval world… and the intoxicating possibility of burning it all down.
