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 STREETS OF GOLGOTHA

12 Jun | '2026

Greetings Loyal Airmen, we’re going to kick off this week’s Flight Log with announcing a new Airship 27 Production book that is truly near and dear to yours truly. After producing well over 300 titles in the past 15 years, this one was special to both the Air Chief, and Art Director Rob Davis.

Writer/editor Jamie Ramos was a remarkable fellow who battle health issues most of his adult life. But he never once let those define him, remaining a kind, warm-hearted soul; devoted husband and father and true and loyal friend to all who know him in the New Pulp community. Before he passed away last year, Jamie was in the process of putting together a brand new anthology to be called “Streets of Golgotha,” that would include stories by the cream of the crop in regards to today’s pulp scribes; Teel James Glenn, Nancy Hansen, Lee Houston Jr., Wayne Carey, Bobby Nash and Jamie himself. Whereas his malady accelerated and one day we received a message that simply said, “Thanks for being my friend.” The Air Chief had heard both of his condition and the project he’d been working on. We reached out to one of those writers on the team and had him convey to Jamie that he could rest as we’d take on completing the project. A week later Jamie passed. And so for the past months, the Air Chief and Rob began assembling the stories, getting spot illustrations completed and assigning the amazing Adam Shaw to do our cover, oh, and we changed the title slightly. As of today, June 8th, 2026, “Jamie Ramos’ Streets of Golgotha,” is now available at Amazon in both paperback and on Kindle. Seeing it there this morning, the Air Chief said a little prayer, feeling that Jamie was looking down on all of us with this huge smile on his face and giving us a big old THUMBS UP!! God bless, my friend. We miss the heck out of you.

MORE FROM CRIMSON NUN # 3

As the story of Gabrielle Cauxvette unfolds, she finds herself in the Vatican encountering members of the Pope’s own private army, the Swiss Guards. Turien and Jaques are two such recruits in training. Art as ever by the talented Jesse Thomas. The history of the Swiss Guards is fascinating and there will be an essay about them in the fourth and final issue. Meanwhile, we have to get issue # 3 finished and out!

YELLOW MOON

The joy of today’s independent market is that super talented creators no longer need the approval of big-shot editors to make and publish their comics. One such fantastic new offering is “Yellow Moon” a gripping western/horror graphic novel by writer Clayton Rozman of Colorado. The art and colors are by artist Bruno Letizia whose work reminds me of David Mazzucchelli of “Batman Year One” fame. They are joined by Ferran Delgato on colors and Chris Stevens edits the entire package. Honestly, Loyal Airmen, this is a winner right out of the gate. Go support this fantastic project. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/octoberpress/yellow-moon-a-western-horror-graphic-novel)

And there you have it for this week’s Flight Log, Loyal Airmen. Lots of good stuff out there, we hope you’ll check it out and of course join us back here next Friday. Till then be well and God bless. Ron – Over & Out!
