Greetings Loyal, Airmen, and as we pen this on July 4th, a sincere Happy Independence Day to all of you.
We Americans live in the greatest country in the world.  John Wayne said so and the Air Chief is not about to ever argue with the Duke.  We hope all you Loyal Airmen have had a fantastic holiday and as ever, God Bless America.

As some of you know, beside working on partners together over at Airship 27 Productions, the Air Chief helps his pal, pro artist, Rob Davis, manage his Redbud Studio where we self-publish via on-demand-printing comic projects both Rob and the Air Chief have had sitting dormant for year.s

We initially began Redbud Studio to publish our graphic novel DAUGHTER OF DRACULA.  Shortly thereafter we decided to bring back the Air Chief's character, Mr. Jigsaw and publish his new adventures, once again availing ourselves of artist Gary Kato's wonderful art.  Then came the second graphic novel,
BOSTON BOMBERS, then the BROTHER BONES one shot, our TALES OF THE MACABRE and finally Rob was able to republish his magnificent ROBYN OF SHERWOOD done with writer Paul Storrie.  It seemed liked every few months we were putting out a new comic title along with our Airship 27 pulp books.

So after several years, we finally bit the bullet and this past week we launched a Redbud Studio Facebook page.  Yup, the studio now has its own page and within hours, we were getting all kinds of hits on the LIKE button until by the end of our first day alone, we'd received over 250 Likes!!!  Wahooo.   Please, if you are on Facebook, check us out there.  We plan on making this a central clearing house where we'll be posting all kinds of preview artwork from many of the exciting new comic projects we have in the works now.

One of the features on the page is it allows us to create photo albums and the Air Chief spend some time finding and posting the covers to all the comics we'd produced since starting the company.  Would you believe there are now 25 Redbud Studio titles?  All of them can be had at (www.IndyPlanet.com) or, of course, directly from Rob and the Air Chief at any of the cons we appear at.  Oh, and some time later this year we will be releasing our first full color comic.  There's a preview page on the FB page, so go check it out.

Not to say  we're not still creating lots of new pulp books.  Coming up next from Airship 27 Productions will be out third Robin Hood adventure by British writer I.A Watson and our second Sinbad – The New Voyages, the second fantasy anthology in this exciting new series.  Stay tuned, we'll let you know when each is out.

And there you have it for this week, Loyal Airmen.  Take care and enjoy the summer,
Ron – Over & Out!
