Proudly Presents
GREG HATCHER’S DR. FIXIT
Greg Hatcher (1960-2021) of Burien, Washington, was a dedicated teacher and one of the finest New Pulp writers of the past decade. Of all his magnificent short stories and novels, one of his most unique creations was that of Ernie Voskovec, a genius engineering mechanic who created the tools and weapons for super villains. He was known as Dr. Fixit.
Dr. Fixit debut in Airship 27’s Mystery Men (& Women)
Vol 6 in the story, “Henching It With Dr. Fixit.” The story was so well
received, Hatcher followed it with two other tales; “Pimpin’ Your Supercar”
Mystery Men (& Women) Vol 7 and “Dr. Fixit’s Getaway” in Mystery Men (&
Women) Vol 8. Greg passed away in Oct of 2021 before completing a fourth story.
When Greg’s wife, Julie Hatcher, informed Airship 27
Production Managing Editor Ron Fortier, of that unfinished story, he and Art
Director Rob Davis, made the decision to do a special tribute collection in
Greg’s memory. While Davis
collected the three published tales along with the illustrations he had done
for them, Fortier recruited veteran pulp scribe Fred Adams Jr. to take on the
task of completing the last Dr.
Fixit Greg had begun before his passing. After reading and studying the first
three adventures, Adams picked the manuscript
entitled “Looking For Dr. Fixit” and brought the tale to a truly wonderful and
fitting conclusion.
Now Airship 27 Production is thrilled to announce the
release of “Greg Hatcher’s Dr. Fixit” containing all for the Dr. Fixit stories.
The book not only contains all of Davis’
illustrations by sports a great cover by artist Chris Kohler and a special
introduction by Julie Hatcher. It is our hope this book honor the memory of a
truly gifted writer and of New Pulp’s most cherished creators.
