Greetings Loyal Airmen, with summer here, we also enter into what most comic fans know as Convention Season with such events, big and small, happening all over the country. But at the same time in various towns and cities, people sponsor book fairs where quite a few of our Airship 27 writers are invited to be guest.

GEORGE TACKES IN PEORIA

One such writer was our pal George Tackes who last week was in Peoria, Il to sign copies of both his novel, “The Great Chicago Fire Conspiracy” and “Sherlock Holmes – Consulting Detective Vol 17″ in which he had a story. George reported that the show was much fun and he met a lot of other great writers.

MARS McCOY SPACE RANGER Vol 3

Many years back at the start of Airship 27 Production, a half dozen our writers got together to envision an old fashion space hero, ala Flash Gordon & Buck Rogers. From this, the writers all contributed to an overall bible and within two years we’d released Volumes One & Two of “Mars McCoy – Space Ranger.” And after that, he seemed to drift away with little interest among our crew to do a third volume. Still, there were diehard McCoy fans ala Van Plexico, James Palmer and John Bear Ross. When Ross went so far as to submit two new stories two years ago, the Air Chief decided it was time to make this happen. And to that end, a few months ago, while on Facebook, we crossed paths with illustrator Daniele Danbrenus Spezzani and we approached him about doing the interior illustrations for this new, third volume. Much to our delight, Daniele signed. Above right is one of his completed illustrations and we are thrilled by it. He is an amazing artist. Meanwhile another regular artist for Airship 27, Michael Youngblood has already turned in a gorgeous cover. So hang in their space jockeys, Mars McCoy and his team are coming back soon!  Oh, yeah!

We are happy to announce the printed copies of our comic “BEYOND THE STARS # 2″ have arrived and all of you who supported this Kickstarter should be getting your copies as well. Thanks ever and truly hope you enjoy the issue.
