CAPTAIN ACTION RETURNS!!

 

AIRSHIP 27 LIFTS-OFF WITH CAPTAIN ACTION SEQUEL!

Airship 27 Productions, in partnership with Captain Action Enterprises, is thrilled to announce the release of its second Captain Action pulp novel, “Hearts of the Rising Sun” by Jim Beard.

“The response to our first Captain Action novel, “The Riddle of the Glowing Men,” was so positive, we were anxious to get this sequel out to the fans,” says Airship 27 Productions Managing Editor, Ron Fortier.  “In this second adventure, Jim moves the saga to Far East in the year 1968.”

While on assignment in Japan, Captain Action is haunted by the woman he loved and lost years ago in the underground kingdom beneath Siberia.  When she mysteriously begins reappearing during his clandestine mission to witness a newly discovered power source, agent Miles Drake begins to question his own sanity.

Forces are at work to steal two naturally formed energy stones whose limitless power in the wrong hands could destroy the world. When he begins to suspect his alien nemesis, Dr. Evil, is behind these attacks, Drake has to utilize his most daring disguises ever to learn the truth and ally himself with an old vigilante hero from the past.

Now the one and only Captain Action must walk a delicate tightrope between old and new allies while attempting to discover the source of the threat to the Hearts of the Rising Sun.  If he fails, mankind is doomed!

Ed Catto, of Captain Action Enterprises, chimes in enthusiastically.  “We had said Jim Beard’s first Captain Action pulp story was like an Ian Fleming story starring Doc Savage.  This new one ratchets it up another level, an international espionage thriller with a dash of Hitchcock mystery and glamour.”

The book features a beautifully painted cover by Michael Youngblood with nine black and white interior illustrations by Pulp Factory Award winning artist Rob Davis.

“Hearts of the Rising Sun,” ties in seamlessly with the continuity of Dynamite’s Codename : Action series,” adds Joe Ahearn, also of Captain Action Enterprises.  “2014 looks to be a very big year for Captain Action with two comic series, a new Lady Action and lots more collectible toys due this holiday season.”

The popularity of Captain Action has never been greater with the release of CAPTAIN ACTION – HEARTS OF THE RISING SUN, his appeal to today’s pulp fans continues to grow.

 

Available now at Amazon in both hard copies and on Kindle.

BARRY BASKERVILLE RETURNS

BARRY BASKERVILLE

RETURNS

Last year, Airship 27 Productions released its first ever childrens’ pulp title, “Barry Baskerville Solves A Case,” by writer Richard Kellogg and artist Gary Kato.  It introduced the world to ten year old Barry Baskerville, a determined lad, who wants to grow up to be just like his hero, the Great Detective Sherlock Holmes.

Now Airship 27 Productions is thrilled to announce the second book in the series, “Barry Baskerville Returns,” again by the same creative team of Kellogg and Kato.  Once again, the town of Watsonville’s most colorful citizen, young Barry Baskerville, continues his day to day activities as he does his best to emulate Sherlock Holmes.  But sometimes Barry’s eagerness becomes too much for his family, friend and teachers and they become very annoyed with his antics.

Can the enthusiastic boy detective overcome their resistance and once again win them over with his devotion to logical thinking and his marvelous talent for puzzle solving?  It appears Barry has a real challenge ahead of him this time.

“The first book was such a huge success for us,” reports Airship 27 Productions’ Managing Editor, Ron Fortier.  “When Richard told us he had another story to tell, we jumped on it on instantly.  The critical reviews from parents and Holmes fan for that initial offering were tremendous and we are only to happy to bring our readers more of this fun, educational series.”

And once again, Hawaiian artist Gary Kato delivers truly beautiful illustrations whose cartoon styling meshes perfectly with Kellogg’s likeable young detective.  Add designs by award winning Art Director, Rob Davis, and “Barry Baskerville Returns,” is sure to delight both old and young readers everywhere.
