Sunday, June 22, 2008 The studio has been abuzz the last two weeks. I'll post a few visual indications of that progress and bring you up to date:
cover to BULLETS OF JADE, the first BROTHER BONES comic book! I've just put the finishing touches on the files for BULLETS OF JADE, our first BROTHER BONES comic. The book will be available soon from IndyPlanet.com just as Ron Fortier's and my DAUGHTER OF DRACULA graphic novel has been. It's the story of the undead avenger going up against CAPE NOIR's oriental underworld in a 48 page suspense tale of intrique and excitement as only Airship 27 and Redbud Studio can present. As soon as the book is available to order online I'll post news here. In the meantime enjoy three pages from the book with design and letters by yours truly, art by John Polacek.

BULLETS OF JADE page 30
BULLETS OF JADE page 41 Also just out after a long wait is CAPTAIN HAZZARD: CAVEMEN OF NEW YORK. Those of you who frequent this blog know that this book has been in the works for some time now. The text and interior illustrations ready, only waiting for Mark Maddox to complete the cover. Well, it was well worth the wait! Mark turned in a stellar cover and the book is now available at the Airship 27 bookstore.

Chapter 10 illustration from CAVEMEN OF NEW YORK. Cornerstone Book Publisher Michael Poll has been busy this week as well, what with the publishing of CAVEMEN OF NEW YORK and his other books besides Airship 27 productions. However, he found the time to put together a stupendous CAFE PRESS store with merchandise featuring logos, covers, and illustrations from Airship 27. I have my eye on several products for myself and I hope you'll find something there for yourself. There are some wonderful items over there.
I've got my eye on this Airship 27 mug at our Cafe Press store.
And here's the new logo we designed just for the store. Click on the logo to visit the store.
Now that these projects have reached the press, I'm hoping to get back to the occassional ROBYN OF SHERWOOD page. There are still many more books and projects planned from Airship 27, and Ron and I are still trying to find a home for our western project, but I've put Robyn off too long. Well, that's it for this week. Defcon in Tulsa is over a month and a half away. The Davis annual vacation trip, though shorter than last year's South Dakota trip, is in mid-July as well as the annual fireworks display are all coming up this Summer. Ryan has baseball and Rachel has Summer school (driver's ed. !!) and Band Camp. So the Summer is full of all sorts of excitement and activity around the studio and household. Drop in again to see what we're up to. More as it develops...
Saturday, June 7, 2008 Just a quick update to start off June's blog entries. Ron Fortier and I, as Airship 27 productions, have a couple more books hitting the market. We also have a couple more on the stove cooking away as well. These first two particular books don't use my illustration skills, so there's not a lot of my imagery to show here. However, both these are my design work, even those where I essentially update the previous designer's work. I'm still pondering a trip to Chicago for Wizard World in just a few weeks now. Thanks to really high gas prices this is an "iffy" trip at the moment, despite some business and personal items I'd like to do while there. I'll keep you posted. Okay. Here now, from press releases, are the two latest books from: • Airship 27 Productions - Now available! A when a stranger named Aaron arrives in camp, the other inmates immediately sense a difference about him. Is he an agent of the Allied Forces rumored to be nearing the camp or a German spy sent to unmask those prisoners planning a last ditch revolt? From the very first page, the mystery intensifies leading to a spectacular finale that resonates with the eternal power of human dignity. A resident of Vancouver, Canada, Mr. Salmon’s previous work, THE DARK LAND, was called by critics “an exceptional work in the tradition of Robert Heinlein.” The publication of THE LIGHT MEN is sure to add to his reputation as one of the new shining stars in the science fiction field.
The Light of Men by Andrew Salmon Release date: 5/29/2008
This new, re-edited edition contains three of the original tales; The Skeleton Men of Calcuatta by Kevin Noel Olson, Cult of the Walking Dead by Mark Justice and The Cold Touch of Death by Brian Meredith. This new edition also features a brand new Agent X thriller, The Icarus Terror by Andrew Salmon. “Our plan for these reprint editions was to enhance them with new features,” Fortier explained. Artist Rob Davis’ cover has also been beautifully modified with digital colors by Shane Evans. A popular pulp hero, Secret Agent X, remains one of the most remembered features from the golden age of the pulps. A reprint edition of Volume Two is in the works and later this year Airship 27 Prod. will begin production on an all new Volume Three.
SECRET AGENT X: VOLUME ONE
Also coming soon from Airship 27 and Cornerstone: • LANCE STAR: SKY RANGER Volume One From the back cover text:

They are said to be guided by a giant bird-man! WHERE THE SEA MEETS THE SKY by Bobby Nash Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, off the shores of tropical Hawaii, a hidden treasure has been discovered. Now a band of sky pirates is out to steal it no matter how many innocent lives must be sacrificed in the process. Only Lance and the Sky Rangers can end their bloody assaults! SHADOWS OVER KUNLUN by Win Scott Eckert A government agent sends Lance and his team of flyers off to the roof of the world, Tibet, in search of a lost World War One ace and a hidden power source that could change the course of history!
