OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE

(Portion of Profits Goes to Boston Red Cross)

Airship 27 Productions has once again teamed with Redbud Studio comics to release the second in their on-going pulp comics anthology. The first giant issue in this series won the coveted Pulp Ark Award for Best Pulp Comic of 2010.

Volume two of the series, co-edited by creators Ron Fortier and Rob Davis, is even bigger than that stellar premier issue. Contained here are eight stories featuring both modern and classic pulp heroes; Ki-Gor the Jungle Lord, the Black Bat, Cain, Robin Hood, Lance Star, Brothers Bones, Dillon and Domino Lady.

The cover is by Will Meugniot and features Ki-Gor's lovely mate, Helene, battling back to back with Derrick Ferguson's modern day adventurer, Dillon. Other creators represented are Russ Anderson, Fortier, Davis, Ian Watson, Thomas Deja, Michelle Sciuto, Sean Taylor, Aaron Meade, Todd Jones, Lee Oaks, James Gaubatz, Van Plexico, Andrew Salmon and Kelly Everaert.

The book is available from Indy Planet.com and part of the proceeds are being donated to the Boston Red Cross. "We were the last stages of assembling the book," explains Editor Foriter, "when the Patriots' Day bombings occurred in Boston. All of us, like the rest of the country, were in shock and felt helpless to do anything." It was writer Van Plexico who contacted Fortier about possibly offering some of the sales proceeds to help those injured in the terror attack. "The second Van brought up, I knew it was something we had to do," Fortier continues. He contacted Davis and all the creators and the decision was made to take all the profits earned by the book during its first six months in print and donate them to the Boston Red Cross.

"We truly hope our fans, when they learn of this idea, will want to rally around a truly good cause and help us put sales over the top," adds co-editor Rob Davis. "We really want this to be the best selling title Redbud Studio has ever produced."

From: ALL-STAR PULP COMICS 2 COVER PREVIEW

The Writer Will Take Your Questions Now (#76) -- Public Domain

Why all the interest in the public domain stuff lately?

Wow. I hadn't thought about it, but it does seem like everything I'm posting about lately is a revival of a public domain property, doesn't it? The truth is it's just a timing issues. I've had the H.G. Wells and Frankenstein projects in the works for years, and they're just now getting traction and making progress art-wise, which excites me to no end.

In addition to those, I'm also doing an online comic revival of the golden-age powerhouse Rip Regan, Powerman. And I recently did the Blue Lady story with Jim Ritchey III for All-Star Pulp Comics, now long ago.

On the prose side, a lot of pulp stuff is hitting recently, however. I'm doing a new adventures of Armless O'Neil for Pulp Obscura, and several others that I can't mention yet until I get approval from the publishers. (Yeah, I'm a tease. I know it. Sorry.)

Why do I pursue so many of these public domain characters? Several reasons.

1. They're fun to write.

2. It's a way of continuing the mythos after the original writers have died.

3. The characters ultimately belong to the fans, and it's a way of rewarding fans for their love of these otherwise forgotten heroes.

4. I'm getting paid for it. (Got to keep the groceries on the table, you know.)

5. I think these heroes deserve to come back. Sure, it's easy to keep Superman and Batman and Spider-Man in front of the masses, but that doesn't mean they are any more deserving of that spotlight than folks like Richard Knight, Armless O'Neil, The Black Bat, or The Domino Lady.

6. Alan Moore shouldn't be the only writer who can make a name for himself (and a living) by giving public domain characters a new spin. (Okay, I'm probably reaching for that one unless I redefine what "a living" is, but the spirit of the statement is still true.)

Bobby Nash Presents Lance Star in “Wing Tips and Neck Ties”

For Immediate Release

Bobby Nash Presents Lance Star in “Wing Tips and Neck Ties” – a new comic book short!

Atlanta, GA – Fans of Lance Star’s recent comic book story “One-Shot” who have been anticipating a new sequential adventure with the high-flying pulp hero can rest easy now. Bobby Nash presents a new story by writer Sean Taylor (Gene Simmons Dominatrix, Classics Mutilated, Robots vs. Zombies: This Means War!) and artist Aaron Meade (Pandemonium: Evil Incarnate).

The tale, entitled “Wing Tips and Neck Ties,” brings Lance back into action with the mysterious Monique San Diablo, the Saint Devil, who appeared recently in the Lance Star: Sky Ranger Volume 3 prose anthology from Airship 27 and Cornerstone Books. In this new adventure, Lance and Monique hit the skies to capture a serial killer with a unique murder weapon – his airplane!

“I’m thrilled that Bobby trust us to take Lance back into the skies in this illustrated tale. It’s got all the fun stuff I enjoy reading and writing and looking at – high flying stunts, a beautiful woman, and even a dead guy swinging from a plane thrown in for good measure. What’s not to love?” says Taylor. “And I’m thrilled to see Aaron’s take on Lance and Monique. He definitely has a Silver-Age way of thinking that’s evident in his art, and it’s a perfect fit for a good-ol’-fashioned man of action like Lance Star.”

“One of the joys of the Lance Star: Sky Ranger series of comic books and prose anthologies is seeing how different writers handle the characters. When Sean told me his idea for this story I was excited to see it,” says Bobby Nash. “And now that I’ve seen the first page of art I’m even more excited.”
