MY LIFE IN COMICS: A MEMOIR BY RON FORTIER
Legendary author and publisher Ron Fortier has just released a special book from Airship 27 Productions, "My Life in Comics (a Memoir)", which gives readers an outstanding perspective of his exploits in the field.
Fortier not only covers his encounters with such sources as Charlton, Now Comics, Malibu and Alpha Productions, but his creative impact on such wondrous characters as the Green Hornet and Kato, Mr. Jigsaw, Peter Pan, Popeye, Rambo and the Terminator, as well as his partnership with the remarkable Rob Davis, who supplies sprightly pics for this entry. (As should come as no surprise, Fortier and Davis' collaborative effort, "Daughter of Dracula" is thoroughly detailed.)
To make the read all the more enjoyable, Fortier weaves warmth and humility throughout his reflections. This gives his text an easy-going buoyancy.
For those with an interest in comics, Fortier's autobiographical ride can't help but fulfill in the most human of ways. That also makes his memoir an indispensable submission for any comic connoisseur's library.
And if you hold an interest in Fortier's life and work, I can't recommend enough "Where Love Takes You": a touching, three-act play in the "Our Town" vein.
It's given me comfort on days that may have proven otherwise unbearable and includes identifiable individuals straight from Fortier's past, who are certain to put a smile on one's face, no matter one's circumstance.
