Presents -
HARRY HOUDINI – PULP HERO
Airship 27 Productions is thrilled to announce the released
of its newest pulp anthology starring one of the most famous figures in
American theatrical history; magician – escape artist supreme, the one and only
Harry Houdini!
Houdini began his stage career as a card manipulator. As his popularity grew, he quickly became
known as one of the most colorful stage magicians and escape artists of all
time. Then the movies came knocking and
the man people had only read about in the newspapers was suddenly starring on
the silver screen captivating audiences with his daring serial exploits. Harry Houdini was no longer just a magician,
he was a bonafide celebrity known around the world.
“I’ve been fascinated with this character since I first
heard of him as a child,” says Airship 27 Productions Managing Editor Ron
Fortier. “The more I learned it became clear that Houdini, during his own
lifetime, evolved into one of the first true international superstars. Once he
became a hero of the cinema, his fame and legend were permanently cemented in
the hearts of his admirers everywhere.
Wherever he appeared the states, he would attract crowds numbering in
the thousands.”
In 1904 Houdini and his manager, Martin Beck, began a world
tour starting in London
and the adventures grew even more fantastic.
“Although our stories are fictional,” continues Fortier, “we saw his
globe-trotting escapes as the perfect backdrop for our writers to whip up
fantastic, action packed tales.” From encounters with Bram Stoker and Arthur
Conan Doyle, Houdini then battles an evil cult in the catacombs of Paris before heading to Berlin on the famous Nord Express where
murder reared its ugly. These amazing
tales are chronicled here by Jim Beard, James Palmer, Ian Watson and Roman
Leary.
The cover is by Carl Yonder with gorgeous black and white
illustrations by Pedro Cruz and all put together by our award winning Art
Directo, Rob Davis. And so Airship 27
Productions is truly excited to present our readers with a brand new look at a
truly extraordinary man who was indeed larger life, he was Harry Houdini, Pulp
Hero!
