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.

It’s Vacation Time

3 Oct | '2025

Greetings Loyal Airmen, and here we go. As you read this entry, Val and the Air Chief only have two more days before we fly off to Wells Beach, Maine for a two and a half week much needed vacation. The plan is to visit with family and friends and eat lots and lots of amazing seafood. Oh, yeah. No laptops, no PCs, just down-time to relax from what’s been an incredibly busy year to include our recent bout with breast cancer and of course all our many comic projects. More on those in a minute. Meanwhile, this Flight Log will return Friday the 24th Oct.

THE BLACK TERROR 2.0

Production on BLACK TERROR 2.0 continues smoothly. Here is Pg 12 as drawn by Dell Barras, colored by David Rios with letters Dami. This is a great dream and all of us are having fun on this one.

JIN & TONIK # 2

The action is starting to heat up on this issue, as Captain Darya Tonikova and her Spetnaz commando team prepares to go into action. Cesar Feliciano’s art is always gorgeous and just gets better and better.

CHIVALRY INC.

Here’s another pencil page from issue two of CHIVALRY INC. by artist Javier Lugo. He’s really whipping through this issue and says he’ll have his pencils completed by the time the Air Chief returns home. Now that’s something to look forward to. Thanks, Javier.

THE GREAT RUSS HEATH

Whenever anyone asks us who was our favorite comic book artist ever, we immediately answer Russ Heath. In the mid-1950s, as a new comic book fan, we discovered his series, “THE SEA DEVILS” and were mesmerized by how he drew underwater scenes. We’d later go on to recognize his magnificent work in other DC titles such as “THE HAUNTED TANKS” and many others. This past week, Sept 30th was the anniversary of his birth, born in 1926. He passed away in 2018 at the age of 92.

REST IN PEACE, JAIME RAMOS

We were informed Tuesday evening that our good friend, and fellow pulp writer/editor Jaime Ramos has passed away. For over a decade Jaime fought failed kidneys and diabetes, never giving up on life, cherishing his wife Phyllis and son Thomas. He was a vibrant force in our New Pulp community. May God bring him to his eternal home and give him everlasting peace. Farewell, old friend.

CAMPAIGN ALMOST FINISHED

And wrapping this final Flight Log before going on vacation, it is now Oct 3rd and our BROTHER BONES ORIGIN GRAPHIC NOVEL – Kickstarter Campaign has only ten days left to reach our monetary goal. As the Air Chief writers this, we only need $799 to get us over the finish line. Better, all fingers are crossed, Loyal Airmen, and heartfelt thanks to all of you who got us this far.

Lastly, as the Air Chief wraps this up, mark your calendars. We will return with a new entry on Oct 24th in plenty of time for Halloween, oh yeah. Until be safe and God bless. Ron – Over & Out!
