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.

New Updates

6 Nov | '2026
Greetings Loyal Airmen. After a few weeks of slim reportings, the Air Chief is happy to show off some great art work turned in this past week. The first is the stunning strip above from the second issue of JIN & TONIK, with dynamic art by Cesar Feliciano and the ever gorgeous colors of Matt Webb. Expect to see this issue out at the start of 2027. Oh, yeah.

BOSTON BOMBERS Vol 2 # 4

Once again, artist Rob Davis offers up a master class in how to draw sequential comics. Every panel in the scene above moves the reader’s eye across the page leading to the BIG reveal at the end. Every comic page should have this effect. Which is why partnering Rob is always a delight for this writer guy.

BEYOND THE STARS # 6

After almost three years, our sci-fi series with Italian artist Andrea Bormida, BEYOND THE STARS is finished! Yup, Andrea, in the past few months, turned in the last few pages like the one above. Wow, what a ride. Both of us became good friends along the way, both of us Catholics and sharing the same faith in power of the Holy Spirit. It was He who gifted us with this star spanning story. Now we can’t wait to get this last chapter printed and off to all you Loyal Airmen. Still hoping that somewhere in the future, Silverline Comics, will be doing a collected edition. We’ll certainly keep you posted.

BLACK TERROR 2.0

And as one project approaches the finish line, another is just getting revved up in a big way. Above are the pencils for pg 9 of BLACK TERROR 2.0 by another talented Italian artist, Alessio Norcerino. Here we have scientist Calvin Hyland on his anti-grav super-cycle heading for work. Watch out for that downtown traffic. Ha. Absolutely beautiful work. This one is intended as a full-blown graphic novel for Antarctic Press. Oh yeah, Loyal Airmen, things are moving once again.

BROTHER BONES # 1 at Indy Planet!

Wicked excited to let you know that the Brother Bones Origin Graphic Novel, chapter one, is now available at Indy Planet, for those of you who missed our Kickstarter campaign.
(https://www.indyplanet.com/brother-bones-origin-1-cover-a) We are really happy about this. Issue # 2 is quickly reaching completion as well.

THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU

Finally, as we write this, it is officially 5th Nov, my 80th birthday, dear Loyal Airmen. Already Facebook has exploded with well over 300 birthday wishes from so many wonderful people. Friends Linda & Justin from back in New Hampshire sent me that awesome tee-shirt and sister-in-law Barbara & husband Gus the vintage baseball cap. Wonderful. Truly the Air Chief is blessed by an amazing, loving God, who put ALL OF YOU IN MY LIFE. MAY HE BLESS ALL OF YOU ALWAYS. Ron – Over & Out!
