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.

COUNTDOWN TO THANKSGIVING

21 Nov | '2025

Greetings Loyal Airmen, well here we go. Just one more week to Thanksgiving the official start of the Holiday Season leading to Christmas and New Year. Hope you’re all busy planning some fun times with friends and family and have got yourself a whole lot of great food to enjoy. Meanwhile, we at Hangar 27 are still working on lots of great, fun projects all heading your way in the months ahead.

JIN & TONIK # 2

Speaking of such, here’s another fantastic page from issue # 2 penciled and inked by Cesar Feliciano with spectacular colors by Matt Webb. We couldn’t be happier with how this issue is coming along.

STING OF THE GREEN HORNET ON FACEBOOK

Our good pal Jeff Butler has begun posting the pages to the old STING OF THE GREEN HORNET mini-series that we did for Now Comics back in the day. He intends to show off the entire series in this fashion, so if you’d like to check it out daily, be sure to go to Jeff’s Facebook Page. Over the years, our GH fans have claimed this was easily the best Green Hornet comic story ever done. Now you Loyal Airmen can see for yourselves.

THE GREEN HORNET & KID KATO

Inspired by seeing all of Jeff Butler’s old GH pages, artist Mike Belcher whipped up this great pin-up of what ultimately would have been another generation of Reids and Katos had we been allowed to keep writing the series. The Hornet, would have been Britt Reid II son, Danny Reid, whereas Kid Kato (we’ve long forgotten the name we came up with) would have been Kid Kato; a wild, rebellious new hero driving a massive SUV Black Beauty. Thanks so much, Mike. Ah, so much fun to dream at what might have been.

BEYOND THE STARS # 5

The big news this week is BEYOND THE STARS # 5 . an all action issue by the sample above, is completed and currently being lettered. According to the good folks at Silverline Comics, it will be put up for funding in February 2026. While artist Andrea Bormida is nearly finished half of issue # 6, the climatic final issue. Stay tuned Loyal Airmen, we’ll keep you posted.

BROTHER BONES GRAPHIC NOVEL PART ONE

According to artist Joe Arnold, the book has gone off to the printers. So all of you who graciously supported this Kickstarter Campaign, hang in there. Your comic will soon be on its way to you. And then Joe can get cracking on finishing Book # 2. Oh yeah.

And that’s a wrap for this week, Loyal Airmen. Again, Valerie and the Air Chief wish you all a truly wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving. Stay well, Ron – Over & Out!
