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.

The FCCCCC Returns!

12 Sep | '2025

After a summer hiatus, the Fort Collins Comics Coffee Clutch Crew reconvened last Sat morning at Grand Slam Fort Collins. Thanks to Gaby, Olivia, Zane Lorelai, Alexis, Sam, Jesse, Tyra and Abe for joining the Air Chief. It was a fun two hours of catching up.

Here’s hoping Future First Sat hook-ups will include more of our amigos.

JIN & TONIK # 2

We honestly cannot say enough good things about Cesar Feliciano’s amazing artwork on this project. Wow seems not enough. And wait till these pages are colored. Oh, yeah.

BLACK TERROR 2.0

Meanwhile Dell Barras delivers another fantastic page of our new BLACK TERROR 2.0 issue # 1 intended for Ben Dunn and his Antarctic Press when completed. Till then, enjoy this sneak peek.

BEYOND THE STARS # 6

At the same time, over in Italy, the fantastic Andrea Bormida is drawing his fingers to the nub to finish our six part sci-fi saga, BEYOND THE STARS for Silverline Comics. Above are the early rough pencils for pages 13 & 14 of that final issue. Whereas, we guess the gang at Silverline is putting the finishing touches on issue number 5 and should be announcing its release any day now. Stay tuned, Loyal Airmen. Things are heating up.

BROTHER BONES KICKSTARTER

Today is the official launch of the Brother Bones Origin Graphic Novel Kickstarter Campaign. As we write this, it is Thursday afternoon and we don’t have that official link yet. Whereas artist Joe Arnold did post a You Tube video here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-F_DsRvpPs) so check that out. The Air Chief hopes to be appearing on lots of podcasts in the coming weeks. We really need you support, Loyal Airmen, in making this dream come true.

REST IN PEACE CHARLIE KIRK

Yesterday a man we admired a great deal was murdered in a cowardly act of violence; a violence he personally abhorred and always stood against. Yes, were filled with anger today, but not hate. Never hate. There is a difference. We leave you this week with this quote from Saint Paul’s letter to the Colossians. “Brothers and sisters: Put on, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if one has a grievance against another; as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do. And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection.”

Ron – Over & Out!
