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.

STILL AMAZED

19 Dec | '2025

Greetings Loyal Airmen, the Air Chief is still amazed at how well the Kickstarter Campaign support is going for our Crimson Nun #2. As of today, Thursday the 18th of Dec. we are at $1,297. If you’ll recall our initial goal, which we reached on day one was $500. And we’ve still got almost two more weeks to go.

And we’re sure you still remind that wonderful sketch Ben Dunn did of her teaming up with the greatest pulp avenger of them all, The Shadow. Well our pal Rob Davis, took that sketched and did his own drawing to completion with color. When Ben saw it, he turned around and whipped up the faux pulp cover you see above. We told you this was a project going through the roof with much more to come.

As of this week, everyone who signs on to support financially support our project will now have the opportunity buy the long out-of-print mini-series done long, long ago. All four issues!! That was all Ben’s idea and we think it’s great. Wonder what he’ll come up with this week. Mean time CN artist Jesse Thomas says he’s doing to do a few “extra” sketches for us in the next few weeks. Wow! Just wow!
Not finished yet. Initially we didn’t know you Loyal Airmen could still get copies of Issue # 1 with the Fred Lang cover (above). As it turns out, you can get the first issue of The Crimson Nun in either hard copy or PDF as an add-on. Just scroll down and hit the box marked DETAILS. Below is the link.

BLACK TERROR 2.0

Been a while since we posted any new updates on the proposed new BLACK TERROR 2.0 Only proving that not all comic projects run smoothly from conception to realization. This one has had its share of bumps in the road but the team is pressing on. Whether in the end it will be picked up and published or not will depend on the package we turn in. Above is part of Pg # 14 with pencils and inks by Dell Barrass and colors by David Rios. Wish us luck.

JIN & TONIK # 2

Whereas work on JIN & TONIK issue # 2 progresses along smoothly. Above is pg # 46 by creator-artist Cesar Feliciano. He only has four pages left and the issue is finished; save for Matt Webb’s colors and Mike Belcher’s lettering. Am thinking we should see this one in print early in 2026. Oh, yeah.

REMEMBER OUR SAVIOR’S BIRTH

Over two thousands years ago a new star appeared in the sky over the tiny town of Bethlehem heralding the arrival of a new king. As C.S. Lewis once wrote, the Enemy had been watching out for him all this time and so he did the unthinkable, he appeared behind enemy lines. Not a powerful, mighty warrior, but as a helpless new baby born in an animal pen, to a young girl and her hard working carpenter husband. He had come to save us not from Roman oppression, but from the slavery of sin. To free our souls and once and for all open the gates of heaven for all. Dear baby Jesus, come. Come to us all with your everlasting love, hope and grace.

From the Air Chief and Valerie to all you Loyal Airmen. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
