Magazines and Hollywood
In 1979, the Lofficiers built on Jean-Marc's earlier work for fanzines and French magazines – including '' Lunatique'' and '' L'Ecran Fantastique'', for which he wrote a combination of articles, reviews and short stories – and began working as "film journalists" for a variety of "cinema/ sf pro magazines." Covering the Hollywood-based film industry (and particularly those aspects with a Sci-Fi or Fantasy bent), the Lofficiers wrote for a number of magazines created both for American and overseas audiences.
