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.

A SOMEWHAT QUIET WEEK

9 Oct | '2026

Greetings Loyal Airmen, as the Air Chief starts to put this Flight Log together, it is is Tuesday and thus far the week has gotten off to a slow start project wise. Ergo, we thought we’ve post the inked version of this first page from BLACK TERROR 2.0 by Italian artist Alessio Nocerino. Last week we showed you the penciled version and thought you’d like to see the progression. The page is now in colorist Mickey Clausen’s talented hands. When he’s done with his contribution, we’ll certainly show it off here. Stay tuned, we’ve a hunch, Alessio is a fast worker.

AND PAGE TWO

Here it is Thursday, and as we mentioned above, reports on our other projects have been nil. Nada. Nothing. Okay, then considering publisher Ben Dunn did in fact publish the FIRST TWO PAGES of this new Black Terror series over on Facebook, we figured why not give you Loyal Airmen a second wonderful page by Alessio to feast your eyes on. As of today he’s done three. But hey, we don’t want to give away the entire book. Ha.

LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON

Finally, as we were about to close up the office today, Aiden Belcher sent in this pencil rough composition of an illustration he’s doing for our new Purple Scar anthology, out third and final volume. If his name is familiar, Aiden is the son of comics artist Michel Belcher, a dear friend. As you can tell from the rough above, Aiden has definitely inherited his father’s drawing skill. We at Airship 27 are please to have him on board as one of our illustrators. This will be our second book for us.

And there you have it Loyal Airmen, as we said at the start, not much came into today. Was looking for more Crimson Nun and Jin & Tonik pages. Oh well, maybe next week. Still thanks for stopping by and stay well. God bless, Ron – Over & Out!
