Airship 27 Productions
DAN FOWLER
VOLUME 2
THE ACE G-MAN RETURNS!
Now available!
Airship 27 Productions is thrilled
to announce their fifth release of the year; DAN FOWLER G-Man Vol II.
Volume One was published two years ago and well received by pulp fans warranting
a second foray into the world of this classic tough guy federal agent.
One of the greatest pulp heroes of old returns in four gun-blazing new adventures.
Dan Fowler, ace investigator for the FBI, is back action, this time facing
off against quartet of deadly villains; from a hideous monkey faced gang boss
to avenging the murder of an uncover agent. Along the way he’ll team
up with a colorful assortment of allies from a sexy jewel thief to the none
other than Jim Anthony, the Super Detective.
Writers Derrick Ferguson, Aaron Smith, Joshua Reynolds and B.C. Bell have
whipped up four of the most fast paced, nail biting crime thrillers ever to
grace any pulp collection. Dan Fowler is an iconic pulp hero who, during
the course of his original series, battled criminals and outlaws from rural
hick bootleggers to the organized syndicates of New York and Chicago.
“Dan Fowler was by far one of the most successful classic pulp characters
ever created,” declares Airship 27 Productions’ Managing Editor, Ron Fortier.
“If you start talking about any kind of crime fighting series, pulp fans will
immediately bring up his name. It is synonymous with this particular genre
of pulps. He was pretty much the Dick Tracy of the pulps. Airship 27 Productions
is thrilled to be bringing him back into the spotlight of new pulp fiction
with these original thrill-a-minutes tales.”
Wrapped up by a gorgeous cover from Brian McCulloch and featuring wonderful
black and white interior illustrations by Neil T. Foster, DAN FOWLER G-MAN
Vol II was designed by Rob Davis and edited by Ron Fortier. So move
over Elliot Ness and Melvin Purvis, here comes the great G-Man of them all,
DAN FOWLER!!!

Beb Books - Now available!
This week we offer
two more books in our Thrill Book Library!
JUJU AND OTHERS
First up Is Juju and others, a pair of weird African adventures.
Juju is written by Murray Leinster, the famed science fiction writer, but
a man who wrote in practically every conceivable genre. Here a party of whites
are cut off from civilization, surrounding by unseen natives pounding their
juju drums day and night. What do the natives want, how can the whites escape
and what of the savage gorilla that seeming invades their plantation house
with easy.
In The Shadows of Race by J. Hampton Bishop is a novella length serial beginning
in the first issue of The Thrill Book. Three men searching for the father
of one of their number in deepest Africa discover a beautiful white woman
and a mysterious tribe of half-ape-half-humans who raised her. And what great
curse stands between them and a return to civilization.
As a bonus is included “Between Two Worlds” by Ada Louvie Evans. A simple
hunting trip goes badly when one of the dogs seems possessed by a demon from
outside the uniiverse.
74 pages of African adventure for $6.00
GUILT - TALES OF
REMORSE
Next is GUILT- - Tales of Remorse. The ghost of
a dead man comes back to ruin the poker game of his murderer. A monstrous
spirit comes to destroy the children of a betrayer on their seventh birthday
A clever detective extorts a confession by playing on a killer’s guilt and
a German soldier discovers that duty and love do not go together. These are
only some of the stories people driven mad by guilt. Tales of crimes are
not a big part of The Thrill Book but here are eleven stories of people who
come to regret what they’ve done. 66 pages for $6.00

one wanted it, now everyone wants him. Because he had been traveling in Germany
when the war broke out Kent has been taken prisoner and tortured to force
him to reveal the formula. American spy and aviator, Robert Wayne, hopes
to fly his experimental plane into Germany and rescue Kent. And if he’s lucky
he’ll also rescue Grace Sherwood, one of the many spies who have gone into
Germany and never returned. While Wayne’s ambitious plan work? What of Kent,
after a year of torture, does he desire life... or death. 95 pages of unexpected
action for $9.00

What gives a house a bad name? in this case it was the suspicion that at

to the door and demands her share of the fortune, being the daughter of the
‘kept’ woman. But is she really the late Tyrone’s daughter, what will happen

The
Best of Blood ‘n’ Thunder: Volume Two
The Best of Blood ‘n’ Thunder: Volume Two, a trade paperback
priced at $24.95, reprints material from long out-of-print issues of
BnT.
For more than a decade, Blood ‘n’ Thunder has explored American
popular culture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries as manifested
in its mass-market fiction—dime novels, nickel weeklies, pulp magazines—and
such complementary storytelling forms as stage melodramas, motion pictures,
and Old Time Radio thrillers. The first 21 issues of this limited-circulation
journal are long out of print, and collectors have been known to pay
as much as ten times the original cover price for back numbers that
infrequently turn up on eBay.
A follow-up to 2011’s The Best of Blood ‘n’ Thunder, this deluxe
volume reprints the finest reviews and articles that appeared in issues
11 through 21—more than 100,000 words of history, biography, criticism,
and commentary. In these pages you’ll read about such popular characters
as The Shadow, Doc Savage, and Sam Spade. You’ll read about such legendary
pulp magazines as Adventure, Black Mask, and Short Stories. And you’ll
read about such famous authors as Talbot Mundy, Dashiell Hammett, and
L. Ron Hubbard. Like its predecessor, The Best of Blood ‘n’ Thunder:
Volume Two is a one-volume encyclopedia for aficionados of vintage adventure,
mystery, and melodrama.
Wilderness
Trail, by H. Bedford-Jones
Murania’s second March release is the fourth volume in our Classic
Pulp Reprints series: Wilderness Trail, by H. Bedford-Jones. Also
published in trade-paperback format, it contains an introduction by
Ed Hulse and carries a retail price of $19.95.
In 1810, the still-young United States of America continues its
westward expansion as a national economy begins to flourish. But the
country’s commerce is seriously disrupted in Kentucky, at the juncture
of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, by daring pirates who strike from nowhere
and then disappear into the wilderness. Captain John Norton, a young military
officer working undercover, mounts a secret campaign against the buckskinned
brigands, who are led by a mystery man known as Blacknose. Along the way
Norton receives aid from such legendary figures of early American history
as rugged pioneer Daniel Boone, future President Zachary Taylor, prominent
naturalist John J. Audubon, and Shawnee Indian chief Tecumseh. Yet the clever
Blacknose and his followers continue to evade their would-be captors.
The Wilderness Trail originally appeared in the February 1915
issue of Blue Book and was the first of more than 370 fictional works—novels,
novelettes, and short stories—H. Bedford-Jones wrote for that distinguished
pulp magazine over a period of 33 years. It was also his first historical
novel with an American setting. Issued in hard covers many decades
ago by the British firm of Hurst & Blackett, The Wilderness Trail
has never been published in the United States as a book—until now.

exists—a state of energy contained in all matter everywhere,
and thus all but unlimited. Nobody has ever found a way to tap
into it, however—until one scientist discovers a way.
Or at least he thinks he has. The problem is, his machines
also cause great earthquakes, even fissures in tectonic plates.
One machine is buried deep underground; the other is submerged
in a vast ocean trench. If Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala and the
rest of the NUMA team aren’t able to find and destroy them, and
soon, the world will be on the threshold of a new era of earth tremors
and unchecked volcanism.
Now, that can’t be good.

Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child: WHITE
FIRE (Pendergast) - Coming November 12!
Corrie Swanson sets out to solve a long-forgotten mystery.
In 1876, in a remote mining camp called Roaring Fork in the Colorado Rockies,
several miners were killed in devastating grizzly bear attacks. Now the town
has become an exclusive ski resort and its historic cemetery has been dug
up to make way for development. Corrie has arranged to examine the remains
of the dead miners. But in doing so she makes a shocking discovery that threatens
the resort's very existence. The town's leaders, trying to stop her from
exposing their community's dark and bloody past, arrest and jail her.
Special Agent Pendergast of the FBI arrives to help--just as a series of
brutal arson attacks on multimillion dollar homes terrify the town and drive
away tourists. Drawn irresistibly into the investigation, Pendergast discovers
an unlikely secret in Roaring Fork's past, connecting the resort to a chance
meeting between Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Oscar Wilde. With the town under
siege, and Corrie's life in desperate danger, Pendergast must solve the riddle
of the past... before the town of the present goes up in flames.

For Fall Start!
Tom Cruise has exited as the lead in The Man From U.N.C.L.E.,
the remake of the classic TV series that Guy Ritchie will direct for Warner
Bros. Cruise was scheduled to star in the film with Armie Hammer, but he
has stepped out of the picture to focus on producing and starring in Mission:
Impossible 5. Paramount and Skydance are now planning to begin shooting
the latest installment of that franchise before year’s end. Warner Bros
has a script they like, and a top director who’s expecting to direct U.N.C.L.E.
in the fall. The timing proved too difficult and so Cruise stepped out to
focus on M:I5. Warner Bros will now go hard looking for the lead of this
movie.

Obverse Books - Obverse Books Acquires Sexton Blake license!
Obverse Books is delighted to announce the acquisition
from IPC Media of the license to the famous Baker Street detective, Sexton
Blake.Blake initially appeared in several of the Penny Dreadful style British
comics and magazines of the latter 19th and early 20th centuries. Lauded
by literary figures as diverse as Dorothy L Sayers and Michael Moorcock,
Blake’s adventures represent the longest running fictional series in the
English language, and appeared in print, in comic format, on radio, television
and cinema between 1893 and 1978.
Obverse Books intend to resurrect the famous Sexton Blake Library, commencing
with a new novella by best-selling genre author George Mann entitled ‘Sexton
Blake and the Vengeful Dead’, available in hardback and electronic form,
and combined with a reprint of a rare, classic Blake story from the inter-war
years.
“The acquisition of the Sexton Blake license is an important building block
in the growth of our catalogue,” said Obverse CEO, Stuart Douglas. “The re-launched
Sexton Blake Library will build upon our existing mystery and crime releases,
while at the same time fulfilling a long-standing personal ambition to bring
the longest-running detective series in literary history back to life.”
Talking about his own novel, George Mann added: “I’ve been an avid devotee
of Sexton Blake for many years, and it’s such an honour to be writing the
first instalment of the newly resurrected Sexton Blake Library. Expect thrills,
spills, action and adventure as a Golden Age Blake is buried alive, takes
on a mysterious cult and faces off against a returning villain from the original
saga.”

Unabridged Audiobook
G-8 and His Battle Aces Audiobook
#1 The Bat Staffel
Read by Doug Stone. Liner Notes by Will Murray
Now available!
They called G-8 the Flying Spy.
History never recorded his exploits—and for good reason! No one would ever
believe World War I was that wild!
G-8, the high-flying ace pilot of World War I, was born in the front seat
of a car barreling through the Holland Tunnel. His father was Robert Jasper
Hogan, who had made quite a name for himself as a prolific pulp writer specializing
in aviation fiction during the glamorous era now styled Between the Wars.
Among practitioners of that now-lost art, this school of writing was styled
Yammering Guns, after the sound of contending synchronized machine guns in
furious action.
|
|
It was the summer of 1933, and despite the Great Depression, Popular Publications
was booming. Part of their Autumn expansion plans entailed launching The
Spider, and a companion title to be aimed at the legions of readers who drank
up fictionalized accounts of World War I Allied aces versus Imperial Germany’s
various bi-winged counts and barons, red and otherwise.
One of Popular’s star writers, Hogan was doubtless the first writer publisher
Harry Steeger considered when casting about for a suitable scribe. The unnamed
magazine was on the schedule as a monthly. The designated author would have
to know his rudders and ailerons—and be reliable. Hard drinkers need not
apply. And Hogan had been an air cadet during World War I, although the armistice
came before he could ship out and see action.
Steeger and Hogan hashed out an idea. It was part Eddie Rickenbacker and
part What Price Glory?—which was a popular Maxwell Anderson stage play turned
into a motion picture. Price stressed the horrors of war as counterpoint
to the sentimental comradeship of the Allies in the trenches. Only in this
case, by horror, Popular Publications meant something far more horrific than
mustard-gas trench warfare atrocities.
For, envisioning the expected strain on the writer’s imagination a monthly
novel would enact, Steeger and Hogan agreed that the new series would soon
grow stale if they didn’t spice it up with elements of the fantastic. This
recipe ranged from merely super-scientific death rays to the unabashedly
supernatural manifestations. Nothing was taboo in G-8. Hogan was a pioneer
of over-the-top plotting generations before the term was coined.
Normally, pulp publishers put house names on such fare, to protect themselves
from ill, drunken or unreliable authors. But Hogan’s byline was pure pulp
gold, so Steeger took a chance. The series would carry the author’s true
name. Hogan never let him down.
Driving home to New Jersey from Manhattan, Hogan passed through the Holland
Tunnel. While in traffic, he worked out the details of G-8’s first wild
adventure. He named his hero after a Colorado ranch where Hogan worked one
summer. G-8 never had another name. His wingmen, Bull Martin and Nippy Weston,
were modeled on a pair of real-life flyboys named Bull Nevin and Nippy Westover.
Pulp fans have accused Hogan of copying the friendly rivalry of Doc Savage’s
wartime buddies, Monk Mayfair and Ham Brooks, in his depictions of Bull
and Nippy. In fact, all those characters were derived from What Price Glory?’s
memorable Captain Flagg and Sergeant Quirt.
The premier tale, which appeared in the October, 1933 issue of G-8 and
His Battle Aces, exemplified the outrageous approach Steeger and Hogan envisioned
for the series. Hogan called it The Bat Staffel. Therein he introduced a
German mad scientist who would bedevil his new hero the length and breadth
of the series—some eleven tortured years. This first time out, Herr Doktor
Krueger unleashed monster bats as big as bi-planes on Allied Sopwith Camels
and Spads. It made for fearsome reading.
With his canvas limited to the skies over No Man’s Land during the four
years encompassed by what was originally called the Great War, Hogan went
for broke, escalating from terrifying tales such as The Skeleton Patrol and
Squadron of the Scorpion to unchecked phantasms of terror like Satan Paints
the Sky, Here Flies the Hawks of Hell and The Bloody Wings of the Vampire.
Hogan had a predilection for half-human antagonists, which manifested in an
annual parade of beast-men, wolf-men, leopard-men, panther-men, even rhino-men.
For G-8 and his battle buddies, the War to End All Wars proved to be a very
long and hairy conflict.
Once, Hogan outlined a particularly gruesome G-8 plot for a queasy
but mesmerized Popular Publications staffer. “My editor was nauseated,”
he recalled. Readers ranging from ten years old to outwardly mature stockbrokers
ate it up, however. They were so captivated by the Flying Spy that even
the glamorous new all-metal aircraft dominating the skies of World War II
didn’t squash their interest in the glorified kites of the prior conflict.
It took a crushing shortage of pulp paper to force Steeger to finally and
reluctantly cancel the magazine. After penning over a hundred G-8 novels,
Hogan took it in stride and blithely switched over to writing quality stories
for The Saturday Evening Post. His last editor was aghast. He didn’t think
Hogan had it in him.
Before it was all over, G-8 battled weird menaces ranging from Martians
to Zombies, with assorted undead minions of the Kaiser in between. If Hogan
couldn’t concoct a fresh beast-man, why, a clutch of cave men or freshly-defrosted
Viking berserkers would keep readers riveted. Recurring foes came and went.
G-8 finally vanquished Herr Doktor Krueger late in the series. Or did he?
Maybe they renewed their feud for World War II. If so, Hogan failed to record
those encounters. No doubt they would have captivated ever-loyal fans of
the one and only Flying Spy.
Through it all, Robert J. Hogan never seemed ashamed to have his Christian
name attached to effusions bearing overblown titles like The Flying Coffins
of the Damned. And he a minister’s son.

The Spider #68: King of the Fleshless
Legion
Poisoned medicine had flooded New York — and overnight
all hospitals had been turned into a hell of betrayed human sufferers! For
a strange and incredible horror had gripped the metropolis. Men gazed, terrified,
upon a greenish Skull, glowing evilly in the darkness, then died! And no
physician nor science could save them from unbelievable agony and death!
Where once happy healthy citizens had dwelt was now a city of defleshed corpses.
No help could come from the baffled police; and mercy in Manhattan was a
forgotten word. Yet one man did not fear to challenge the Terror. Richard
Wentworth, as the Spider, set out to find a way to battle the Skull — and
save an entire city from an Epidemic of Poison Death! Total Pulp Experience.
These exciting pulp adventures have been beautifully reformatted for easy
reading as an eBook and features every story, every editorial, and every
column of the original pulp magazine. $2.99.
G-8 and His Battle Aces #1: The
Bat Staffel
What were these batlike monsters? What was the strange
death they carried? G-8 and his ace buddies follow this horror staffel straight
into action skies! G-8 and his Battle Aces rode the nostalgia boom ten years
after World War I ended. These high-flying exploits were tall tales of a
World War that might have been, featuring monster bats, German zombies, wolf-men,
harpies, Martians, and even tentacled floating monsters. Most of these monstrosities
were the work of Germany’s seemingly endless supply of mad scientists, chief
of whom was G-8’s recurring Nemesis, Herr Doktor Krueger. G-8 battled Germany’s
Halloween shock troops for over a decade, not ceasing until the magazine
folded in the middle of World War II. G-8 and his Battle Aces return in vintage
pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format. $2.99.

Sequential Pulp To Publish
Edgar Rice Burroughs' JUNGLE TALES OF TARZAN Graphic Novel
Sequential Pulp Comics is proud to
announce a new graphic novel based on Edgar Rice Burroughs’ classic novel,
Jungle Tales of Tarzan.
The one hundred and forty four page graphic novel will
be authorized by ERB, Inc. through Sequential Pulp’s distribution arrangement
with Dark Horse Comics. The book will be designed as an anthology collecting
the twelve loosely connected short stories written by Edgar Rice Burroughs
chronicling the life of his most famous character, Tarzan of the Apes.
All the events of the original work take place within chapter eleven
of Tarzan of the Apes between Tarzan’s avenging of his ape foster
mother’s death and his becoming the leader of his ape tribe. The original
stories ran in Blue Book magazine from September 1916 through August
1917 prior to the book’s publication in 1919.
Writer Martin Powell will helm the graphic novel. Powell
is well known for his work as the author of hundreds of science fiction,
mystery, and horror stories. He has worked in the comic book industry
since 1986, writing for Marvel, DC, Malibu, Caliber, Moonstone, and
Disney, among others, and has been nominated for the coveted Eisner Award.
He is also a respected and award winning author of children’s books,
and frequently contributes prose for many short story anthologies.
He resides in Saint Paul, MN.
Along with Powell, Sequential Pulp is bringing a veritable
who’s who of exciting illustration talent. With an amazing cover and
specialty art by Daren Bader to exciting story art by Pablo Marcos,
Terry Beatty, Will Meugniot, Nik Poliwko, Antonio Romero Olmedo, Mark
Wheatley, Diana Leto, Steven E. Gordon, Lowell Isaac, Tom Floyd and Jamie
Chase. Each story has been matched up with an artist whose passion and
love for Burroughs’ Tarzan and specifically for the story selected will
go a long way towards making this one highly anticipated book in the
Tarzan canon.
Each story will run twelve pages in length and the book
will be in full color. Sequential Pulp is planning a standard trade
paperback and a very limited signature deluxe signed edition.
A brief preview of "The
End of Bukawai", as illustrated by Jamie Chase,
from the upcoming all-new graphic novel anthology JUNGLE TALES OF TARZAN.
Written by Martin Powell. Authorized by ERB, Inc.

The Serial Squadron - Coming June 1 - Now accepting pre-orders!
THE LONE RANGER
Restored, Complete and Unsubtitled -- and Upgraded!
Our restoration of THE LONE RANGER (1938), long-considered
a lost serial in complete form, is the only complete unsubtitled version
of the serial in existence. And soon we will be offering an upgraded
version of a restoration many already consider to be great with a new
transfer of a considerable amount of higher-resolution unsubtitled footage
which we are currently marrying to the audio tracks and otherwise blending
into the existing restoration. This new transfer is much sharper than
the original content of much of the serial and does show some wear but
the upgrade in picture quality is well worth the effort of incorporating
it and will make the Squadron LONE RANGER serial the definitive edition
of this classic serial.
Let's face it -- we here all know that Tonto doesn't wear a dead
bird on his head, and that this is the real, first, original and "real"
story of the Lone Ranger. And one of Republic's most-beloved serials for
a good reason. It's worth having the very best possible DVD version of
it in your collection.
Target release date for the upgraded restoration is June 1.
NOW ACCEPTING PREORDERS
For projected release date of June 1, 2013
IF YOU ORDER A COPY OF THE SERIAL BEFORE JUNE 1 We will offer you
a $5 discount from the list price of $29.95.
IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A COPY OF THE RESTORATION AND WOULD LIKE THE
UPGRADE
We'll send you the upgraded DVDs (DVDs only, no case) for 12.95,
less than half the list price.
No cheating on this, now, the Lone Ranger may be watching.
