Starlog magazine returns as an annual print publication on November 13, 2026, after a 17-year hiatus. The legendary science fiction periodical ceased publication in 2009 due to declining readership and subscriptions. The relaunch marks the magazine's 50th anniversary, having first launched in 1976 under editor-in-chief Terry O'Quinn with a painted Star Trek cover featuring William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy.
The new edition, Issue #375, features cover artwork by Armenian artist Gabriel Yeganyan. Annalee Newitz, io9 co-founder, serves as editor-in-chief for the revival. Fangoria Holdings oversees the publication.
"During its original 33-year run, 'Starlog' documented science fiction as it evolved across film, television, books, technology, and culture," said Tara Ansley of Fangoria. "Fifty years after the magazine first launched, the line between science fiction and the real world has become increasingly difficult to separate. That makes this an especially interesting time to bring 'Starlog' back."
The magazine originally covered science fiction TV shows, Hollywood films, and franchises including Star Wars, Star Trek, and Alien. Issue #375 is available for pre-order now.
