AIRSHIP 27 PODCAST (LATE JAN '22): READY FOR LIFTOFF

Spectacular new, Airship 27 titles take flight in Ron Fortier and Rob Davis' latest podcast.

Ron's powerful prequel to his Brother Bones' mythology,  Cape Noire: A Beest and Beauty Tale, has just hit the scene (adorned by Rob's nifty artwork), which focuses on the City of Crime's favorite, furry foe, Harry Beest. In essence, Ron's novel tells precisely how Beest gained his simian guise, and of course, accompanying the top henchman's alteration are all the eccentric characters we've come to know, love and despise (along with the some new ones) within Brother Bones' tough turf, including those preluding Bonello Brothers. 

Also on the release roster is Lou Mougin's clever, New Pulp high-tech sojourn, Joe Computer, Private Detective (with apt illustrations by Fer Calvi). This one blends gum-shoe, Spillane-ish adventure within a breezy, Alphaville context, but please note, the inhabitants are, in fact, interacting. computer programs. (Think Star Trek's Holodeck on steroids.) Maugin's writing zips right along, making this mystery a page-turner of the highest, science-fiction order. 

The guys also chat about the upcoming Pulp Factory Awards and toss in a couple of their silly jokes to ensure their viewers enter and exit smiling.
