Gallagher, Diana G
Entry updated 4 September 2023. Tagged: Artist, Author.
(1946-2021) US illustrator and author, in the former capacity winning a Hugo award for best fan artist in 1989 (see Fandom) as Diana Gallagher Wu (she was then married to William F Wu). As an author she concentrated almost exclusively on Young Adult Ties to Television series such as Sabrina, the Teenage Witch (1996-2003) created by Nell Scovill, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003) created by Joss Whedon and Charmed (1999-2006) [see Checklist below].
Gallagher's titles of sf interest include most prominently three Ties to the Star Trek universe (see Star Trek and associated entries): Arcade (1995) and Day of Honor: Honor Bound (1997) for the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Young Adult subseries, and The Chance Factor (1997) with her then husband Martin R Burke in the Star Trek: Voyager Starfleet Academy subseries. She contributed three solo ties to a series of four novelizations based on The Secret World of Alex Mack (1994-1998; vt Alex Mack), beginning with Alex, You're Glowing! (1995). Invasion (1999) and Shadows (2003) are further television series ties, respectively to The Journey of Allen Strange and to Smallville (2001-2011).
Gallagher's only non-tied novel, The Alien Dark (1990), is a Space Opera structured around an Alien civilization's First Contact experience of an apparently extinct human race. [JC/DRL]
