This is the first issue of Solar Angels. I am very satisfied with how it turned out, and I want to thank all the artists who contributed their time and insight. In a world that I personally find too preoccupied with unimportant things, I wanted to create a journal that goes a little deeper underneath the surface, and I think I succeeded. I hope you enjoy Solar Angels!
