Airship27

Welcome to Airship 27

My name is Ron Fortier, and I have been a professional writer for over forty-five years. I have worked on comic book projects such as The Hulk, Popeye, Rambo and Peter Pan. With my two most popular comic series being The Green Hornet and The Terminator (with Alex Ross). With Ardath Mayhar I penned two TSR fantasy novels, and in 2001 I had my first play, a World War II romantic comedy, produced.

This site serves as a portfolio of the work I’ve done to date, as a showcase for projects in the works, and as home for my online Journal (below), which will be updated frequently.

I am currently writing and producing pulp novels and short stories for various publishers and have several movie scripts floating around Hollywood looking for a home, and if that isn’t enough, I also have a review column at the www.pulpfictionreviews.blogspot.com website.

A devoted grandfather of six, at 75, I am thrilled to be part of the new web-comic evolution. Part of this joy is in the realization of a life long dream, that of becoming a pulp writer.

Thanks for visiting, and enjoy your stay.

THE PERSONA RETURNS

5 Dec | '2025
Greetings Loyal Airmen, and here we are in December, with year 2025 quickly slipping away into the past. Wow, but the years do seem to go faster and faster, don’t day. At least to the Air Chief it appears so. Anyway, we are happy to be releasing our 328th Airship 27 Production title, “The Persona Vol 3 Silver Skin” by writer Michael Housel with interior illustrations by Aiden Belcher and a gorgeous eye-catching cover by Michael Youngblood (above). This volume contains three adventures of the mystic warrior as he takes on alien beings from another dimension in the feature story. As ever the book is available in paperback from Amazon and soon on Kindle. Continued thanks for all your support, Loyal Airmen.

WINTER ARRIVES!

Ah, woke up Wed, 3rd Dec, raised the curtain in our office to look out at the front yard and there it was….SNOW!!! Yes, Winter has finally arrived here in Fort Collins. Won’t say it makes us happy; at our age all this means is cleaning off the auto, bundling up to go out and wet and slippery roads. We are already longing for Spring. Ha.

BEN PUSHES FOR EARLIER CAMPAIGN LAUNCH

Whoa, Loyal Airmen, the Air Chief can’t even finish this log entry, when we’re already posting a correction from the piece above which stated the Kickstarter Launch date would be either the 14th or 15th of Dec. And just like that, today, Thursday 4th, we find the above ad on Facebook. WOW!!! Way to go Ben. So if you Loyal Airmen don’t want to miss out, do cut and paste that link we posted above and go to Kickstarter to sign up fast. We’re thinking the folks who read issue # 1 are more than a little eager to get their hands on this second chapter. Oh, yeah!!

And that’s it for this week’s Flight Log. Stay warm out there, and don’t let the season overwhelm you. Remember, it’s really for cherishing the friends and family we love. Ron – Over & Out!
