Airship27

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.

HOLIDAYS ARE HERE!

28 Nov | '2025

Greetings Loyal Airmen, we hope all of you enjoyed a fabulous Thanksgiving yesterday and share lots of great food with loved ones. Now, this so called Black Friday, the American consumer turns his or her eyes towards Christmas and what to get for all those family members. Here’s hoping, along the way, many of us will remember we’re also anticipating a birthday, that of a special baby in the town of Bethlehem, and in that reflection, will learn to be kinder and more loving along the way. Alright, so what’s new at the old Hangar 27 this past week.

JIN & TONIK # 2

While at a recent comic book convention, artist and co-creator, Cesar Feliciano found time to do up an new sketch of martial artist Sammy Jin, one half of our team in this modern day spy thriller. Cesare is nearly finished penciling issue # 2, while colorist Mat Webb is working feverishly to keep up. Once done it’s off to artist Mike Belcher for lettering and then off to you, Loyal Airmen. The Air Chief thinks this issue is going to blow you away!!

THE CLASSIC MOVIE GANGSTERS

Pal Jeff Butler continues posting pages daily from our old STING OF THE GREEN HORNET mini-series we did for Now Comics ages ago. Part of the plot involved a conference of top mobsters chiefs. In writing the script, we suggested to Jeff that he model these gangsters after famous movie tough-guys and boy, did he it to perfection. At the center panels, we have Edward G. Robinson as Eddie Conklin, James Cagney as Speed Mallow (the henchmen behind him is actor Victor Mature) and lastly Humphrey Bogard as Panama Williams. Doing these kind of cameos was one of the hallmarks of this series and it a joy to the Air Chief to see these pages again. We hope you Loyal Airmen are enjoying them as well.

CHIVALRY INC. # 2

Artist Javier Lugo has wrapped up his pencils for issue # 2 of our 3 part mini-series CHIVALRY INC. for Silverline Comics. Above is page 21. Soon as we get fully inked and colored pages, we’ll sharing them with all you Loyal Airmen. This is a series we are most excited about. Stay Tuned.

THE CRIMSON NUN # 3

And while the Air Chief is so anxious to show all of you issue # 2 of The Crimson Nun which hopefully will be released by Antarctic Press in just another week or so, we are thrilled to see artist Jesse Thomas still hard at work. Above are his finished pencils and inks on page one of issue # 3. Jesse one of those talented graphic artist who simply gets better and better with each new page his draw. Wow.

And that’s it for this week’s entry, Loyal Airmen. As ever thanks for stopping by and we’ll see you back here at Hangar 27 next week. Till then, time to get into the Christmas joy. Ron – Over & Out!
