AIRSHIP 27 PODCAST (NOV '18): READY FOR TAKEOFF!!!

Ah, the autumn winds are in full swing, and so is the latest Airship 27 Podcast, steered by faithful Captain Ron Fortier and Chief Engineer Rob Davis.

This installment is a poignant one, as our gracious hosts pay tribute to Marvel master, Stan Lee. Ron and Rob tell how Stan the Man revitalized the comic-book scene and inspired them to write, publish and illustrate--in addition to giving us all colorful characters and bold adventures we'll cherish for a lifetime. (Their expressed respect for Lee is comforting, especially in light of Bill Maher's derisive remarks on the legend: the sting of which still has many of us bursting at the Hulkian seams.)

Ron and Rob also take time to reference Airship 27's current and upcoming releases, including the major, hot-off-the-press "Bass Reeves: Frontier Marshal, Vol 3": see Nov's "bizarrechats" review. (Incidentally, the Bass Reeves series is one of Airship 27's most popular and demands a whirl, even if by some inexplicable chance one isn't partial to westerns.) 

Ron and Rob also discuss the re-release of their powerful novella, "Faces of Fear", which teams the Purple Scar with the Black Bat: see June '17 review. This revised edition will enchant readers like never before, with its polished text and stunning artwork. In my estimation, "Faces of Fear" is one of the most atmospheric crossovers conceived in years. (BTW: The new edition features a prologue from Ron, which reveals his story's nifty Easter Eggs, plus there's the fellows' exciting, comic bonus: "Secret Agent X: Race With the Devil": see Dec '17 review.)
