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.

BOOMERS & PIRATES

6 Feb | '2026
Greetings Loyal Airmen and welcome to this week’s Flight Log. We don’t know about you, but this whole name the generation thing has always seemed silly to us. And confusing. Recently someone posted the cartoon above pretty much clarifying each generation by these labels. We thought it would be fun to share it with all of you. If you’re curious, the Air Chief is with the old duffer at the far left. Yup, born in 1946, we are proud to claim the title, United States Boomer.

JEZEBEL JOHNSTON Vol 10 No QUARTER

And now we are thrilled to announce the release of Airship 27 Production’s first title of 2026, “Jezebel Johnston Vol 10 No Quarter” by the amazing Nancy Hansen. In this volume, her pirate queen, Jezebel Johnston sets sails with her crew of scalawags in search of booty on the Spanish Main. It’s great historical accurate adventure in this remarkable series. Art Director Rob Davis provides the nine black and white interior illustrations and Michael Youngblood that beautiful cover above. As ever, the book is available from Amazon in both paperback and on Kindle. Continued thanks for your support, Loyal Airmen.

THE PULP FACTORY AWARD FOR 2025

Once again, Loyal Airmen, the Pulp Factory Awards for this year have been announced. The nominees are the best of the best in five categories from those stories and artwork published in 2025. As you’ll note above, Airship 27 Production works have nominations in three categories, and we are so proud of each of them. Note, voting is open to the public and we’ve included the link to the ballot site. We are hoping all you Loyal Airmen will take a few minutes to cut and past the link below, go to the site and vote for our Airship 27 creators, all of them worthy of your support. The ballots are then tallied and will be announced at a presentation event at this year’s annual Windy City Pulp & Paper Con that takes place in Lombard, Illinois in March. Thanks so much for your support. (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScB1dYnSV7omPLQhV3vSeuSiLfn2ujEVezfEuhfICGBmW_sNw/viewform)

CRIMSON NUN 2 IS BACK FROM PRINTERS

Earlier in the week, Antarctic Press Publisher Ben Dunn posted the above picture reporting that the printed copies of The Crimson Nun # 2 had arrived at his offices. He also said they would start shipping them out that very day to all you Loyal Airmen who help support the Kickstarter Campaign. You can well imagine, the Air Chief is most anxious to get his copies and hold one of these in our hands. Note, once we do have them, we’ll all you who didn’t order one how you can still purchase one directly from us, autographed and all. So stay tuned.

And that’s it for this week’s Log Entry, Loyal Airmen, as always thanks so much for stopping by. We hope you have a terrific weekend. Stay well and safe, God bless. Ron – Over & Out!
