RICK LAI’S MAJOR SABBATH
Airship 27 Productions is thrilled to be teaming up with New
Pulp author and historian, Rick Lain in debuting a new hero born in the Italian
Spaghetti Westerns.
Throughout the history of American western movies, iconic
characters were used over and over again until they became stables of these
cowboy flicks. There were always the
good guys portrayed as the pioneers, farmers, and lawmen whereas the other side
of the coin had the outlaws, raiding Indians and tyrannical cattle barons. It seemed if you were doing a western, these
types were always present.
But when the 1960s debut the invasion of Italian made
oaters, a little used character suddenly seemed to take center stage; the
bounty hunter. He was the cold,
calculating man in black who hunted the meanest, deadliest owlhoots for a cash
reward.
“The thing we try to do every day here at Airship 27 is be
receptive to really new and fun ideas for our books,” says Managing Editor Ron
Fortier. “This particular project was
born at the Windy City Pulp & Paper convention two years ago when Rick
brought up this idea of doing a fictional series based on a recurring character
in the Spaghetti movies he and I both love.”
Inspired by these action-packed Spaghetti Westerns, writer
Rick Lai has created a terrific new hero in Major Sabbath. A veteran of the Civil War, he now roams the Wild
West as the most efficient manhunter of them all. Lai, along with Erik Franklin and Frank
Schildiner, offer up a trio of gun-blasting tales featuring this man with the
penetrating angel eyes and lightning fast draw. Once you meet Major Sabbath,
you’ll never forget him.
Popular artist Pat Carbajal provides the cover and Michael
Dean Jackson the interior illustrations.
The book also features an extensive article on the Van Cleef’s history
in the Italian cinema with its focus on this iconic bounty hunter hero. In all, there’s more all out shoot’em action
between these pages than in a dozen other westerns. “Rick Lai’s Major Sabbaoth” is truly one of a
kind.
