PRESS RELEASE

GANGSTERS & GUNMOLLS

Airship 27 Productions dons its tough-guy mantle, as it premiers its newest pulp star in THE RUBY FILES.

... It was the 1930s and America was locked in the grip of the Great Depression. Gangsters controlled the major cities while outlaws roamed the rural back country. It was a time of Speak Easy gin-joints, Tommy-guns, fast cars and even faster dames. This is the world of New York based Private Investigator Rick Ruby, a world he is all too familiar with. From the back alleys of Gotham to the gold laden boulevards of Hollywood, Ruby is the shamus with a nose for trouble and an insatiable appetite for justice. So if you’ve got a taste for hot lead and knuckle sandwiches, tug your cuffs, adjust your fedora and light up a Lucky, a brand new pulp detective is coming your way.

Created by pulp masters, Bobby Nash & Sean Taylor, Rick Ruby echoes the tales of Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe while offering up his own brand of two-fisted action. Joined by fellow pulp smiths Andrew Salmon & William Patrick Maynard, these modern scribes of purple prose present a quartet of tales to delight any true lover of private eye fiction. This instant classic features a gorgeous Mark Wheatley cover and eight evocative black and white illustrations by Rob Moran.

This is a book that harkens back to the classic black and white Warner Brothers gangster movies that featured James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart and Edward G. Robinson to name a few. The atmosphere is gritty with a no-nonsense hero pulp fans are going to applaud from the first story to the last. And when that last tale comes to a close, you can bet we haven’t seen the last of Rick Ruby, Private.

R.I.P. JEAN GIRAUD (aka GIR and MOEBIUS) 1938 - 2012.

Moebius has gone to join the Pan-Galactic Pantheon of Art Gods and we are all so much poorer for that loss...adieu Arzach...goodbye Blueberry.

A newly completed commission piece - THE GREEN HORNET- influenced by the old film serials more than the TV show and certainly NOT by that God awful film that came out last year. The client wanted a sultry female version of Kato...so here she is, 'KATA', Kato's sister. A lot of work went into this one.

My mate Tim Perkins, great writer/artist and all around great bloke has the first book of his WORLDS END series up for order on his blog RIGHT NOW!!! Do yourself a favour and buy this folks...go on, you know you want to!

I just learned that one of my ART GODS, a true graphic genius and one of the greatest draughtsmen of his or any other generation, RONALD SEARLE has passed away at the grand old age of 91. While this affects me greatly at a personal level for Searle is the artist who has had the greatest influence on my own line work since I was 12 years old I cannot be too sad because in his long and distinguished career he achieved more than most artists would in ten lifetimes. Searle’s work was the benchmark against which all others were set and his influence has passed down through generations of cartoonists and illustrators…we will truly never see his like again.

R.I.P. Mr. Searle and thank you for the inspiration and joy you’ve given through your pen.
