Greetings Loyal Airmen, been a fun and exciting week here at Hangar 27. Lots of great projects coming together slow but sure and we’ll touch base with a quite a few. So here we go.

HAMLET’S END

Artist Zane DeGaine isn’t wasting any time getting issue # 1 finished. Above (right) is the completed pg # 15 of this 22 page comic. Meaning 7 to go and then on to lettering and the launching of whatever funding program he wants to use. The initial idea will be to propose the book as a black and white….BUT….if we meet our goals, then will deliver it full, glorious western colors. Stay tuned.

SHORT STORIES OF KEVIN J. ANDERSON

From New York Times bestselling author, Kevin J. Anderson, “For those who missed my KJA Short Fiction Library Kickstarter last spring, the books are finally going to be released to the general public. Today, Fantasy Stories vol 1 is available from @WordFirePress https://wordfirepress.com/products/fantasy-stories-volume-1”

Basically what Kevin did was collect a lifetime of published short stories and printed them in a wonderful seven volume set, as his press release above indicated. Many, many years ago, Kevin and the Air Chief belonged to a correspondence writers’ club and became pals. Other members included David C. Smith, Ardath Mayhar, and the late Charles Saunders. During that time, Kevin and yours truly wrote a short story called “Skeleton in the Closet.” It is reprinted in Vol 2 of this Fantasy sub-set. See cover above at right.

BROTHER BONES CHARACTERS

More characters sketches from artist Joe Arnold for the now-in-production Brother Bones graphic novel. Joe’s doing a great job with these.

CRIMSON NUN IS HERE!

And finally, per the title of this week’s Flight Log, CRIMSON NUN # 1 is officially out. We received our copies from Antarctic Press’ own Ben Dunn yesterday. We will have these, both with Fred Lang’s cover (above left) and Ben’s (above right) at November’s Rocky Mountain Con in Denver. It was a dream come true for the Air Chief to get this assignment and the comic looks fantastic. Thanks to artist Jesse Thomas and letterer Mike Belcher. Now on to issue # 2.  Oh, yeah.

Ron – Over & Out!
