TWO PULP HEROES UNITE!
Airship 27 Productions is thrilled to bring together two of
pulpdom’s most unique and colorful heroes in one fast paced, all action
adventure; “Captain Hazzard – Custer’s Ghost” by award winning New Pulp writer
Ron Fortier.
When an eerie ghost rider appears on the Fort Peck Indian
Reservation and begins butchering innocent lives, native superstitions are
fueled. Could this wraith actually be
General George Armstrong Custer returned from the dead to seek retribution for
his massacre at the Battle of Little Bighorn?
Then, when gangsters attempt to kidnap a Sioux Princess at a prestigious
college in New York, Captain Hazzard and his
team of adventurers soon find themselves flying to Montana to unravel a truly bizarre mystery.
Accompanying them is Jim Anthony, the famous Super
Detective, along with his grandfather, the Comanche shaman, Mephito. Somewhere in those rugged mountains and
plains lies a secret from the past that will change Anthony’s life
forever. But to uncover it, he and the
Hazzard will have to risk all and solve the mystery of Custer’s Ghost!
Fortier, the author, and Airship 27 Productions’ Managing
Editor, had long wanted to bring both these great heroes together. “It’s no secret to pulp fans that both were
originally invented to copy the legendary Doc Savage,” Fortier related during a
recent interview. “Whereas Jim Anthony
went on to have multiple adventures, Captain Hazzard only ever appeared in one
issue of his own title and then vanished.
Throughout the years he’s been known as the One Hit Wonder.”
Since beginning Airship 27 Productions, over a decade ago,
Fortier and partner, Art Director Rob Davis, have devoted themselves to
continuing the adventures of lesser known pulp heroes such as Captain Hazzard
and Jim Anthony. To date the company has released four books featuring the
Super Detective in anthologies, while Fortier took it upon himself to write the
new exploits of the Champion of Justice.
“Custer’s Ghost” has been three years in the making and the
author is all too aware that readers have been overly patient awaiting its
completion. The book features interiors
by Davis and a
stunning cover by Pat Carbajal. “In the
end I hope they will think the wait was worth it,” Fortier says hopefully. “Just don’t ask me when number six is
coming?”
