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 BIG FINALE!

21 Aug | '2026

Greetings Loyal Airmen and at last, here’s the fifth and final page of the Great Airship Race as penned by yours truly with art by Jesus Marquez and colors and letters by Warren Montgomery. The Air Chief has always had a warm spot in his heart for this little cartoon adventure. It reminds us of our days as members of the Zone 4 Podcast and Brant Fowlyer, John Wilson and Gordon Dymowski. True comic geeks one and all!

THE CRIMSON NUN # 3

In this page, the Pope takes Gabrielle to the Vatican gardens where his head of security, Henri Metien is putting his elite Swiss Guards recruits through their self-defense training. As ever, artist Jesse Thomas delivers a truly wonderful page.

BEYOND THE STARS # 6

Not to be undone, here’s another amazing page from the final issue of BEYOND THE STARS in its final stages of production. Andrea Bormida’s art shines through every panel.

**MIDSOMER MURDERS**

Earlier in the year, Valerie and the Air Chief, while looking for something to watch on TV, found “Midsomer Murders” a long running British mystery series on one of the streaming services and we began watching it regularly. We are well into season 13 now and really get a kick out of the series, Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby and played wonderfully by actor John Nettles. Still, over all these episodes we’ve realized their are consistencies not to be ignored. Below is a list of things to expect from watching any Brit mystery series.

Funny stuff, and pretty much spot on. Honestly, if any of you Loyal Airmen ever have the opportunity to check out “Midsomer Murders,” give it a go. We think you’ll enjoy it. Hopefully as much as we do.

BROTHER BONES THE ORIGIN GRAPHIC NOVEL # 2

We’re happy to let you Loyal Airmen know work on the second chapter of the “Brother Bones Origin Graphic Novel” book # 2 progressing well. Whereas artist Joe Arnold has finished all his pages for the main part of the book, i.e. the continuation of the origin story itself, our artist on the back-up bonus short, “Party Girl” Mr. Gabriel Rearte is doing a fantastic job with his layouts and roughs as seen in the two pages above. We can’t wait to see them completed. This is truly going to be another stellar chapter in the three part presentation.

And that’s it for this week, Loyal Airmen. As you can see, there’s no slowing down at the old Hangar 27 and all our projects are moving ahead smoothly. Thanks always for stopping by and more importantly for your continued support. We couldn’t do any of this without you. God bless, Ron – Over & Out!
