AIRSHIP 27 PRESENTS
OCCULT DETECTIVES
Airship 27 Productions 26th release of the year
is the first volume in a brand new pulp series, “Occult Detectives.”
They battle demons and monsters, hunt ghosts and defend us
against the things that go bump in the night.
They are Occult Detectives and they’ve been a staple of pulp fiction
since the beginning of those glorious, garish magazines. Now Airship 27 Productions is thrilled to
bring you a quartet of tales starring some of the most unique Occult Detectives
ever created; three newly minted heroes and one classic master of mysticism.
From the days of the Wild West, Joel Jenkins offers up his
Indian Shaman hero, Lone Crow. Then we
have Josh Reynold’s colorful Charles St. Cyprian, the Queen’s own Royal Occultist,
followed by Jim Beard’s Sgt. Janus, the Spirit Breaker. And we culminate with a little known pulp
classic figure, Ravenwood; the Stepson of Mystery as chronicled by Ron Fortier.
“The idea for this collection came from Josh Reynolds,” reports
Airship 27 Productions Managing Editor, Ron Fortier. “The idea of bringing together, in one book,
some of the most exciting new pulp characters in print today appealed to me
immediately; especially if our line up included such popular heroes as Lone
Crow, Charles St. Cyprian and Sgt. Janus.
Since their appearance, each of has won over a loyal following of
readers. But that still left us with one
empty slot and that became the opportunity I jumped on instantly.”
Seven years ago, Fortier and Airship 27 Productions Art
Director Rob Davis, had produced an adult horror graphic novel entitled,
“Daughter of Dracula,” that received rave reviews upon its release from Redbud
Studio and is still one of that company’s biggest sellers. Fortier had long wanted to do was write a
sequel that would answer some of the questions posed by many of the comic’s
readers. In particular, “What happened
to the main character after the events in the story?” Now, this anthology offered him that stage
combined with the added bonus of allowing him to write a character that was one
of his favorites. “Ravenwood – Stepson
of Mystery is such a cool, occult detective and I was itching to get my
creative mitts on him,” Fortier confesses.
“This is a story I’ve waited a long, long time to tell.”
The book features interior illustrations by Davis and a
cover, colored by Jesus Rodriguez, that spotlights all of the heroes together
in a setting outside of space and time.
Get ready to take on possessed gunfighters, eerie
mesmerizing spirits, a bewitching temptress and a legion of the undead as these
four brand new tales usher you into
thrilling adventures beyond the realm of the ordinary; your guides….the
Occult Detectives.
