Greetings loyal airmen.  As promised from last week, here are a couple of sneak-peeks at two classic pulp heroes making their return in brand new stories via my Wild Cat Books projects.  The first is a well-known radio and comic book figure and the other a true pulp favorite.

Captain Midnight got his start on radio and was a very popular show for many, many years.  Eventually he would become an equally popular comic book series and ultimately in the 50s evolve into television.  I'm sure many of you senior airmen will remember that half hour, black and white TV show with Richard Webb as Captain Midnight and the show's sponsor, Ovaltine.

Well the good Captain is about to make a wonderful return and all through the creative endeavors of my pal, writer David Walker.  David is writing a new series for Wild Cat Books that will be appearing and our forthcoming FLYING ACES title.  Dave has already turned in the first, origin yarn and it's a winner.  Aviation pulp fans are going to love this.  And in keeping with all this, Dave has also started up his own Captain Midnight website (http://mysite.verizon.net/theshadowreturns/)  Stop on by and check it out.

Meanwhile we are hard at work on a classic pulp revival; Ki-Gor Jungle Lord.   After the debut and popularity of Edgar Rice Burrough's Tarzan, in both pulps and movies, other publishers were eager to cash in on the jungle savage theme and dozens of such characters began popping up.  The most successful, and longest running such series was that of Ki-Gor Jungle Lord, which ran in every single issue of JUNGLE STORIES.  Ki-Gor, the orphaned son of a Scottish missionary killed in the Congo, raised himself in the wilds to become a blond Tarzan.  Within the next few months Wild Cat Books will releasing a brand new Ki-Gor anthology, with four action-packed stories by Wayne Skiver, Tom Johnson, Duane Spurlock and Peter Currane.   Our WCB artist supreme, Tom Floyd has turned in the cover below.

It's a beauty, isn't it?  To get a look at it without all that text, check out the Gallery pages.  Tom has truly outdone himself this time around and we couldn't be more delighted.  Naturally when the book is available for sale, I'll post it in this log.

Speaking of such postings, I am going to be the guest at a Boston Comic Convention on the 18th of Feb, put on my Primate Promotions.   I'm hoping lots of you airmen will jot that date down on your calendar and come down to say hi.  I'll have three or four of my pulp novels on hand for sale plus a comic or two.  Should be a fun day.

And that wraps up another week, amigos.   After a long delay, winter has finally settled in New England and we're once more a snow-covered scenery.  See you in seven, till then, stay warm.
Ron, over and out.
