Greetings Loyal Airmen, we hope all of you are doing well and keeping creatively busy.  Last week seemed like slow week at Hangar 27 HQ, and wouldn't you know it, that all got changed around real quick.  This week have two new releases to tell you about and a special sneak audio peek.  Yes, you read that correctly.  But let's get to it starting with our newest Airship 27 Productions release.

The Moon Man Vol One collects five brand new stories of one of the coolest classic pulp heroes of the 1930s. The Moon Man in reality was Detective Sgt. Steve Thatcher of the Great City police.  He was so sickened by the effects on the poor by the Great Depression, he donned the one way Argus globe and became a then modern day Robin Hood, robbing only from the very rich and then, through an accomplice, distributing the money to local charities and churches.  He was created by Frederick C.Davis for Ten Detective Aces magazine and appeared in seventy five stories.  Now we add another five, as penned by Andrew Salmon, Erwin K.Roberts, Gary Lovisi(who did two) and Ken Janssens.  The book is now available at Amazon via Create Space and at our digital store found by clicking on the Airship picture to the left corner of this blog.  We hope you'll give it a try. On, and that gorgeous cover is by Rob Davis & Rich Woodall.  Enjoy.

On the comic front, the Air Chief is thrilled to announce the re-release of a kid-friendly title called DAYS OF THE DRAGON, put together by the Air Chief and his artist pal, Gary Kato, of Mr.Jigsaw fame.  In this set up we tried to imagine a world where dinosaurs did not go extinct and continued to be the dominate, intelligent life on their world…and we are now in it's Middle Ages. And there you have DAYS OF THE DRAGON. The book contains three complete stories which we know children of all ages will enjoy. It was first published many, many years ago by another outfit and had long since gone out of print. So Gary and the Air Chief brought it to Rob and Redbud Studio to get it back in print and on sale for a whole new audience.  You can find the book at (www.IndyPlanet.com) or by going to our Redbud Studio link found on the link page.  If you've small children just getting into reading, we guarantee they'll love this comic.

Finally, for the past few weeks we've told you Loyal Airmen how Airship 27 Productions was working with Broken Sea Audio to do audio versions of several of our books.  The first of these will be an audio version of “Captain Hazzard – Python Men of the Lost City,” by the Air Chief and Chester Hawkes; the house name under which pulp writer Paul Chadwick first penned it.   The book is being read by veteran actor Joe Stofko and the sound engineer on the project is Chris Barnes.  Recently Chris put together a small five minute preview tape for us to share with all of you.  To give you a tiny sample of what the finished book will sound like. Note when it is completed, we will be selling it both as a digital download on our Airship 27 Hangar site and as a packaged multi dics set you can order by mail for your car stereo or PC.  To say we are excited about this venture would be a silly understatement.  So without further ado, here is the that sample audio.

And there you have it, Loyal Airmen.  Sounds amazing, doesn't it? We truly hope you've enjoyed this little audio bonus. A big thanks goes to our son, the PC guru and site manager here, Scott Fortier.  The Air Chief could never have made this fly or anything else without Scott's efforts.

Next Valerie and the Air Chief are very excited to see the new JOHN CARTER movie opening this weekend across the country.  The Air Chief grew up on the books of pulp master Edgar Rice Burroughs and his Martian series, from which this movie springs, was one of our favorites.  Can't wait to see it up on the big silver screen. Take care and have a great week.

Ron – Over & Out!
