Airship 27 Productions
THE BLACK BAT VOLUME 3
Now available!
Airship 27 Productions is thrilled to
announce the release of “Black Bat Mystery Vol 3.” One of the greatest pulp
action heroes is back in four brand new adventures. Tony Quinn, blind
defense attorney and police consultant, is in reality the crime-busting
vigilante known as the Black Bat. He is aided by the lovely Carol Baldwin,
former con-artist Silk Kirby and ex-boxer Butch O’Malley. Together they battle
the underworld of New York City, fearlessly putting their lives at risk
to champion justice.
“Once considered a second stringer, the advent of New Pulp has catapulted
the Black Bat to new heights popularity,” says Airship 27 Productions’ Managing
Editor Ron Fortier. “Although regarded as a fan-favorite of older pulp fans,
the Black Bat was mostly unheard of until New Pulp came along and introduced
him to an entire new generation of readers.” Today comic fans are discovering
the unique similarities inherent in this classic pulp character and such
heroes as Batman and Daredevil. “There are elements in both these comic
favorites that clearly owe their inspiration to the Black Bat,” Fortier
continues. “Our first two books in this series were big hits and we’re pleased
to be releasing this new collection.”
In this third volume, the Black Bat faces a mystic swami said to possess
arcane powers, boards a high speed train to foil a gang’s bold attempt
to rescue their captured boss and offers his services to protect the life
of a famous Broadway personality threatened with death. New pulp
writers Greg Hatcher, Gene Moyers, Gordon Dymowski and Erik Franklin have
captured all the action and thrills that were hallmarks of the early pulps
and delivered a quartet of amazing Black Bat exploits pulps fans will cherish.
“Black Bat Mysteries Vol 3” features twelve interior illustrations by
Marco Santiago and a gorgeous, painted cover by Graham Hill, with design
by Airship 27 Production Art Director Rob Davis.
Available now from Amazon.com.

THEM THAT LIVES BY THEIR GUNS
THE COLLECTED HARD-BOILED STORIES OF RACE WILLIAMS VOLUME 1
by Carroll John Daly (Author), Brooks Hefner (Author), Matthew
Moring (Editor), Mark Krajnak (Illustrator)
Now available for pre-order!
Collected for
the first time: the stories of hard-boiled detective Race Williams. Originally
appearing in the pages of Black Mask Magazine, author Carroll John
Daly pioneered the hard-boiled P.I. story and perfected the genre
with his classic character Race Williams. Apart from the novel-length
Race Williams stories, these classic hard-boiled thrillers have
rarely been reprinted, if ever.
Volume 1 contains the first 17 Race Williams
stories, all from 1923-26 issues of Black Mask: ''Knights of the
Open Palm,'' ''Personal But Not Confidential,'' ''$3,000 to the Good,''
''The Red Peril,'' ''Them That Lives By Their Guns,'' ''Devil Cat,''
''The Face Behind the Mask,'' ''Conceited, Maybe,'' ''Say It With Lead!,''
''I ll Tell the World,'' ''Alias Buttercup,'' ''Under Cover,'' ''South
Sea Steel,'' ''The False Clara Burkhart,'' ''The Super-Devil,'' ''Half-Breed,''
and ''Blind Alleys.''
Three additional, early, first-person
hard-boiled stories by Daly which laid the groundwork for the Race
Williams are included as well: ''Dolly,'' ''Paying an Old Debt,''
and ''The False Burton Combs,'' as well as editorial pieces by Daly
himself on his inspirations, writing style, and advice to prospective
writers. And it's prefaced by an all-new, scholarly introduction by
Professor Brooks Hefner of James Madison University.
Them That Lives
By Their Guns: The Collected Hard-Boiled Stories of Race Williams Volume
1 is the most
important release in years on the history of the Hard-Boiled Detective
story.

Blood 'N' Thunder
/ Murania Press
BLOOD 'N' THUNDER SUBSCRIPTION POLICY
CHANGE
Message from publisher Ed Hulse....
As of today Blood 'n' Thunder's subscription
policy is changing to reflect a decision I recently came to.
BnT will cease publication as a periodical next year with issue
#50, scheduled for Fall 2016. Since launching the zine in 2002
I've done a pretty lousy job of adhering to its stated quarterly schedule
anyway, and as various aspects of my life have changed in recent
years, BnT must change along with them.
Therefore, those whose subscriptions expire with the just-published
#45 will be offered a renewal price of $50 for the remaining
five issues to come. This will provide more than the subscriber's
customary 20-percent savings inasmuch as #50 will be a jumbo-sized
magazine with a cover price of $19.95 or more. (I'm already
thinking about the last issue's contents, because I expect
to go out with a bang.) The five-for-$50 deal will also extend
to those who decide to subscribe for the first time before issue
#46—Fall 2015—is published this coming November. At that time I will
stop offering subscriptions and the last few issues will be available
only on a single-copy basis at the cover price of $12.50 postpaid.
So if you want the discount enjoyed by subscribers, this is your last
opportunity to get it. I've just revised the site's Subscription
page to conform with this change of policy.
The cessation of publishing on a quarterly basis (more or
less) doesn't mean Blood 'n' Thunder is going away. It
will continue as a series of irregularly published books—each
running to 200 pages or more—that will include collections
of essays grouped by theme. My plan is to publish at least two
of these per year, timed for release in Spring at the Windy City
convention and in Summer at PulpFest. There might be a third volume
each year, depending upon my schedule. Of course, I'll continue
to publish the Classic Pulp Reprints series and other Murania
Press books.

Blood 'N' Thunder
/ Murania Press
This wildly melodramatic thriller, originally published
in the August 1933 issue of Dime Mystery Magazine, provided the
template for countless pulp-hero novels published during the Thirties.
Depression-era readers craved outlandish menaces to take their minds
off their troubles, and The Purple Eye was at the top of the list.
The Eye, maniacal criminal mastermind and leader of the ancient
death cult known as the Brotherhood of Baktuun, terrorizes New York
City with a series of high-profile murders accomplished by mysterious
means. Seven million souls are at his mercy as his outrages mount
in dizzying succession. The police, constrained by legal niceties
and endless red tape, seem powerless to thwart his mad schemes. Enter
Wayne Saxon, millionaire sportsman and world traveler, who devotes
his life to running the Eye to earth. He works within the law when possible,
but without it when necessary. Will he succeed? There’s a thrill on every
page of this baffling mystery.
Shawn Danowski’s introduction, “The Pulp That Murder Built,” provides
a history of Dime Mystery in its early, pre-weird menace phase.

Kindle edition (On
sale October 14th)
Revere River seemed like a good idea. After that, everything
went downhill—the population, which grew weary of the unrelenting
snow; the avalanche that killed another chunk of the population; the
economy, which relied on outlaws seeking solitude, and the annual
gathering of bounty hunters to clear them out.
Now a slick shyster keeps the town in his hip pocket—but when lust
overpowers greed, the town’s delicate existance will crack like ice.

an unfaithful wife, a duplicitious friend, and follows the lonely Boomer
Trail from town to town to train yard.
Can King return to the top of the railroad heap? Was he repsonsible
for the tragic accident that cost hundreds their lives? Did his
wife and former friend have relations behind his unsuspecting back?
Or was it all a tragic misjudgment? How will they ever reconcile
when floods, fires, snow drifts and shady con-men come between them?

THE BRONZE GAZETTE
Pulp fanzine to live beyond its 75th issue!
Earlier this summer, Howard Wright announced that issue 75 would
be the final number of his Doc Savage-oriented fanzine, The Bronze Gazette.
Howard began the zine in 1990 as The Doc Savage Gazette. (The name
was quickly changed after four issues because of trademark problems.)
It’s clearly been a labor of love for Howard, who has regularly put
out three issues a year for 25 years now.
But Howard decided it was time to move on.
Well, the news from Doc Con is that The Bronze Gazette will continue.
PULPlications — run by Terry Allen of Fantom Press and Keith Wilson
of Doc Savage Fantasy Covers — will be the publisher, while Chuck Welch

CARTER & LOVECRAFT
- Now available!
by Jonathan L. Howard
"Carter & Lovecraft is a Pandora's box loaded with all
the wonderfully twisted stuff I love, including a two-fisted homicide
cop turned PI, warped realities, a mysterious bookstore, the Cthulhu mythos,
a dash of romance, and creepy fish-men. What's not to love? Jonathan L.
Howard knows how to show his readers a wickedly good time." ―Christopher
Golden, New York Times bestselling author Dead Ringers
Daniel Carter used to be a homicide detective, but his last
case―the hunt for a serial killer―went wrong in strange ways and soured
the job for him. Now he's a private investigator trying to live a quiet
life. Strangeness, however, has not finished with him.
First he inherits a bookstore in Providence from someone he's never
heard of, along with an indignant bookseller who doesn't want a new
boss. She's Emily Lovecraft, the last known descendant of H.P. Lovecraft,
the writer from Providence who told tales of the Great Old Ones and
the Elder Gods, creatures and entities beyond the understanding of man.
Then people start dying in impossible ways, and while Carter doesn't
want to be involved, he's beginning to suspect that someone else
wants him to be. As Carter reluctantly investigates, he discovers that
H. P. Lovecraft's tales were more than just fiction, and he must accept
another unexpected, and far more unwanted, inheritance.

Now available!
Suspense; the eerie fascination of dire impending events; the
culmination of a series of strange happenings in a mysterious murder; and
the consequent solution of the problem—these are a few of the elements
that make “The Yellow Claw” a story of unusual interest, even for readers
who are familiar with Sax Rohmer’s work. For the name of this increasingly
popular author has come to stand for stories that powerfully magnetize
one’s easy chair. To read the first paragraph is to turn on the current.
This is another great story by the author of “Fu Manchu”. Reprint in fascimile
format of the original magazine appearance in Lippincott’s Magazine in 1915.

The Hopalong Cassidy stories written by Clarence E. Mulford first appeared

Magazine (see Book 2 of our series). If you only know Hopalong Cassidy
from the many motion pictures and/or the television series, this character
is far different in the print version, so do not be surprised when you begin
reading about his exploits on the Bar 20 range. This book is a complete
facsimile reproduction of the original appearance of this story in The Outing
Magazine.

Murphy Anderson, Buck Rogers
artist, Dies At 89
There are presently no details as to the cause of death, but
he’d been in poor health and declining convention invites for some time
now.
Anderson excelled as both a penciller/inker and an inker, embellishing
the pencils of so many great DC artists, including Gil Kane, Curt Swan,
and Carmine Infantino to name just a few.
Anderson's career dates back to the 1940s, on pulp comics published
by Fiction House like "Rangers Comics" and "Planet Comics."
In the early 1950s, he debuted at DC Comics and became a regular illustrator
of sci-fi series "Strange Adventures," drawing Captain Comet and the Atomic
Knights (created by Murphy and writer John Broome).
He was also known for his work on Hawkman,
for whom he co-created Zatanna with Gardner Fox as well as bringing back The
Spectre.
In pulp related work, Anderson did pulp illustrations for Fiction
House including PLANET STORIES.
He also wrote and drew the Buck Rogers daily newspaper
strips, starting in 1947-49, and then returning in 1958-59.
Additionally, he wrote and drew the Sunday version of the Buck
Rogers newspaper strip from 1958 to 1959 creating three continuities: “Search
for Impervium”; “Supernova Threat”; and “California Earthquake Plot.”
In the 1970's, he illustrated five chapters
of the John Carter of Mars strip in DC Comics' WEIRD WORLDS #1, #2, and #3.
He also created the industry standard art size of 10″ x 15″ which
would allo two pages to be photostatted ast the same time, saving time,
money and energry. This was adopted across the US comics publishing industry.
In the nineties, he was entered into the Jack Kirby Hall of Fame and
the Will Eisner Hall of Fame, topping off a career full of awards.

Fall is almost upon
us, and that means the annual NJ Pulp Adventurecon draws near--an
afternoon of pawing through boxes of pulp magazines,
vintage paperbacks, vintage movie memoribilia, golden age
comics and more! (Just like it says in the banner,
but we couldn't resist repeating ourselves!)
You'll find fifty tables of swell swag at this show
-- last year Robert Gould, son of pulp artist John Fleming
Gould, visited and brought several magnificent pieces
of original artwork for display and sale. Brendan Faulkner
had his usual extensive selection of vintage movies, some
of which are so rare the actors and crew don't even remember
them! Gary Lovisi, the leader at Gryphon Publishing and
hand-on-the-crank at Paperback Parade magazine, had his usual
fine publications, and John Gunnison of Adventure House had
his usual extensive stock of vintage and rare pulp magazines.
Mala Mastroberte, our favorite pin-up model, was present ...
and that's good enough for us, but Mala also had a selection
of photos, books, and photo postcards.

The Spider #17 Audiobook
The Pain Emperor
by Norvell W. Page writing as Grant Stockbridge
Read by Nick Santa Maria
Now available!
In a hundred thousand homes, families
sat down together at the supper table. A few hours later, those persons were
dead — killed by poison in canned foods! Thousands of women used cosmetics,
and acid made their faces forever hideously scarred. A master criminal, daring
and clever, was ruthlessly slaughtering Americans to win immense illicit
profits for himself. Only one man was powerful enough and wise enough to stop
this wholesale murder — Richard Wentworth, champion of oppressed humanity,
better known as the Spider. And the Spider was engaged in the bitterest battle
of his career, fighting the Avenger, a false, wily crusader who was determined
to destroy him!
|
|
Norvell W. Page, writing under the pseudonym of Grant Stockbridge,
Page remade the Spider into his own psychic twin, often dressing up as the
Master of Men when delivering his monthly manuscripts.
In a letter to a Spider fan, Page wrote, “Think of me as Wentworth, if
you will. The line between us is not too distinct.”
Page took Spider readers on a roller-coaster ride of wild action and
fevered emotion unlike anything ever published before or since. Once he
got going, Page painted a portrait of a tortured superhero, one much
more emblematic of the 21st century than of the Great Depression.
For Richard Wentworth saw himself as a man on a holy mission, a self-appointed
messiah with a martyr complex. A Christ covered in cobwebs. He was the
champion of oppressed humanity, its shield and protector against the murderous
outbreaks of the Underworld; wherever crime struck terribly, that way he
hastened, taking up the challenge. The police had offered rewards totaling
thousands of dollars for his capture “dead or alive.” And the Underworld
hated him, and plotted his destruction with a fierceness bred of abject
terror.
Nick Santa Maria breathes life into the Spider in The Pain Emperor. Originally
published in The Spider magazine, February, 1935.

THE SAINT: SEASONS 3 & 4 - Coming in January!
THE SAINT goes marching in with all 32 episodes from Seasons
3 & 4!
Modern-day Robin Hood. Wealthy man of mystery. Debonair rogue. Call Simon
Templar what you will, but never cross THE SAINT. A timeless figure of adventure
since his creation by Leslie Charteris in 1928, The Saint has thrilled
adventure aficionados with his exploits in a variety of media, including
novels, movies, and radio—but nowhere was the dashing Mr. Templar more
indelibly realized than in his 1960s television series, starring the perfectly
cast Roger Moore in the title role.
Simon Templar's adventures continue in Season Three and Four, building
on the charm and thrills established by the series' early days. Presenting
early appearances for such actors as Burt Kwouk (The Pink Panther films),
Carol Cleveland (Monty Python's Flying Circus), and the great Donald Sutherland,
and with the inimitable Mr. Moore as our guide to adventure, these two seasons
of The Saint represent some of the best this classic series had to offer
its most ardent fans.
