THE ART OF PULP
Airship 27 Productions is proud to announce the release of their first
ever art book. NOIRE – THE ART OF ROB MORAN is a wonderful collection of stark black and
white imagery showcasing the phenomenal work of one of today’s top graphic artist
in the field of pulp literature.
Rob Moran is an award-winning illustrator/comic book artist/writer
based in the UK. As a writer he has created various comic
titles and wrote a nationally syndicated American newspaper comic strip. As an artist he has been a magazine
illustrator, newspaper cartoonist, computer game designer and has created
posters for the Scottish Opera. As a
graphic artist, he has been published in the UK,
Europe and the USA
with such companies as Marvel, Dark Horse, Image Comics, Silver Phoenix
Entertainment, Classical comics, 2000 AD and many others. His comic mini-series BLOOD NATION is
currently being filmed as a major motion picture.
“We discovered Rob via Facebook,” explains Airship 27 Productions
Managing Editor Ron Fortier.
“Immediately his love for the classic Noir movies of old jumped out at
us with each wonderful piece he would post.”
Ultimately Airship 27 Productions recruited Moran to do the art for
their book, PROHIBITION by writer Terrence McCauley; an old fashion gangster
epic. For his efforts Moran won the
coveted Pulp Factory Award for Best Interior Illustrations. In 2013, Moran did the art for BROTHER BONES
– SIX DAYS OF THE DRAGON, his second assignment for Airship 27 Productions and
is currently nominated for this work in both the Pulp Factory and New Pulp
Awards.
“When the opportunity to showcase this amazing artist presented
itself,” Fortier continues, “Art Director Rob Davis and I knew this was a book
we had to do. We’ve published dozens of great artists over the past few
years. Rob Moran is clearly one of the
best of these and this is a book we are damn proud of.”
NOIRE : THE ART OF ROB
MORAN is an 8-1/2 X 11 black and white book. It features over two dozens illustrations
