CELEBRATING HAROLD HERSEY’S 125TH BIRTHDAY AND THE 90TH ANNIVERSARY OF WINGS AND THE AIR WAR PULPS We’re just one month away from the 18th annual Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention at The Westin Lombard Yorktown Center in Lombard, IL. We’re very pleased to announce that NYT bestselling author F. Paul Wilson will be our Guest of Honor at our 2018 con! Wilson is the author of over 50 books, many of which feature his popular anti-hero, Repairman Jack. Among his numerous awards are the Bram Stoker Award, the Prometheus Award, the Porgie Award and the Inkpot Award. His first published story, “The Cleaning Machine,” appeared in the March 1971 issue of Startling Mystery Stories, while his second appeared a month later, in the April 1971 issue of the John Campbell edited Analog. His newest novel, “The God Gene,” is scheduled to be released by Forge Books on January 2, 2018. Wilson contributed the Foreword to The Art of the Pulps, published in October 2017, where he shared that “I love the pulps. … I’ve been a fan of the pulps since my teens…” We’re excited to have him as our GoH, and we know that our attendees will enjoy meeting him at the convention! Mark it on your calendar...our annual convention that you won't want to miss. With over 150 tables filled with great popular culture material, hundreds of pieces of art on display and for sale, thousands upon thousands of pulps, paperbacks, comic books, digests, hardbacks, and pulp reprints available. Our annual Friday Night Auction is another one to behold. Material from the Glenn Lord estate, [former executor of the Robert E. Howard estate] it's going to be a doozie. Nearly a copy of every pulp Howard appeared in will be auctioned. Artwork from Howard books will be auctioned. And a special piece of Howard memorabilia that will be the talk of the convention will be auctioned. Also, don't forget about our standard Saturday Night auction as well. With more rare and interesting material being offered. Our Guest of Honor F. Paul Wilson will not only be a subject of a panel discussion, but also will be commenting live while Windy City Film Festival plays his novel adaptation "The Keep." Sort of Windy City Film Festival meets Mystery Science Theatre. Author/Pulp Historian John Locke will present his newest in-depth look into the pulps with the Secret Origins of Weird Tales.

CLICK HERE to go to the hotel site to make your reservation. Friday Night Auction to feature material from the estate of Glenn Lord This year’s Friday night auction will draw on material
from the estate of Glenn Lord. As literary executor of the Robert E. Howard
estate for nearly three decades, Lord was instrumental in popularizing the
works of Howard, and in making reams of previously unpublished Howard material
available. It would be difficult to overstate his contributions to Howard’s
legacy. Not surprisingly, his own pulp collection was centered around Howard,
but also contained many other titles as well. If you’re a fan of pulps –
and particularly if you’re a fan of the man who brought us Conan and so many
other memorable characters – you won’t want to miss it!
We’ll be posting more details over the coming weeks concerning the pulps, fanzines and other rare material that will be in the auction. One piece of original art that will be in the auction – Frank Utpatel’s original cover art for the second Robert E. Howard Arkham House collection, “The Dark Man and Others”. 2018 Windy City Film Program

Airship 27 Productions
BROTHER BONES: CITY OF
LOST SOULS
Now available! Airship 27 Productions is thrilled to announce the fourth title in Ron Fortier’s daring new pulp series featuring the Undead Avenger, Brother Bones. “City of Lost Souls,” continues the saga of Cape Noire’s supernatural protector, the relentless skull masked vigilante who exist for only one purpose; the utter destruction of evil. In the past three volumes, pulp fans were introduced to Tommy Bonello, a cruel sadistic hitman who found himself cursed with a conscience and then was murdered by his own twin brother, Jack. But hell didn’t await the slain gunman, rather his soul was chosen by the Cosmic Fates to return to the land of the living and there become the gruesome avatar of justice, Brother Bones. The vengeful spirit complied by taking over his brother’s body, effectively ending Jack’s life and thus becoming an animated zombie. Starting with “Brother Bones The Undead Avenger,” the character burst on to the New Pulp scene over ten years. His remarkable debut was followed by a full length novel, “Brother Bones – Six Days of the Dragon,” by author Roman Leary, working under Fortier’s guidance. The following year saw the release of Fortier’s second collection, “Brother Bones – Tapestry of Blood.” Now comes the long awaited fourth book, another anthology featuring five gripping tales of murder, mayhem and the unstoppable Undead Avenger. “I sometimes think Bones is in charge,” says Fortier, who is also Airship 27 Productions’ Managing Editor. “His stories propel me along as if I were merely a chronicler. Bones and the entire cast of Cape Noire have, over the years, taken on realistic characteristics in my imagination. In this new collection, we find old characters from previous stories resurfacing in new ways I’d never have conceived of ten years ago. Each is taking center stage with startling new stories that will definitely change the landscape of Cape Noire forever.” The longest tale in the collection is “The Synthetic Man” and for the first time ever, Brother Bones combats a classic golden age pulp villain, Doctor Satan. “This was a real challenge,” Fortier adds. “I realized bringing Satan into Cape Noire would set a precedent allowing other classic pulp characters to enter this world. Where that will take us right now is anybody’s guess.” Joining Fortier to provide ten black and white illustrations is Rob Davis, Art Director for Airship 27 Productions and super graphic artist Michael Stribling created the beautiful stunning cover. And this new book is soon to be followed by a brand new role-playing game module, “Ron Fortier’s Cape Noire” from Scaldcrow Games due out within a few weeks. The popularity of Brother Bones continues to grow and these new entries are sure to add to that momentum. Available
from Amazon in paperback and on Kindle.

AMAZING STORIES
Bringing back science fiction's first and original magazine - Amazing Stories! New Kickstarter campaign for the return of Amazing Stories as a print magazine! Amazing Stories is an institution. It is an icon of the field. Over the years it has represented both the best and the worst that this genre has to offer. It has inspired the careers of authors, artists, editors, academics, scientists and engineers. Its presence proved that there was a viable market for this kind of literature, a fact not lost on other publishers who quickly followed suit. By 1930 there were four magazines in the field, eventually many more. And the fans? They bought every single one of them. Amazing Stories deserves to be an ongoing part of our community. It may be a bit worn around the edges, the spine may be cracked a little and it may shed bits of pulp here and there, but those are love scars. Amazing Stories is not just our progenitor, it is the embodiment of the heart and soul of the genre. We love it. We love what it's done for us, what it represents, what it created. How can we not, when we love Science Fiction? We know you share that love. Please show that love. It's time for Amazing Stories to live again. Checkout the

BEAST MEN

Rider Haggard. “Allan Quatermain & the Beast Men” is a full length novel by writer Wayne Carey. When all the villagers of several veldt kraals mysteriously go missing, Allan Quatermain finds himself embroiled in one of his most baffling African adventures. Whispers among the Zulus claim weird beast men, half-human and half-cat, are responsible for the abductions. Quatermain and his companion Mnqoba begin their investigation skeptic of the rumors but at the same time baffled by the unexplained disappearances of so many so quickly. Their mission leads them to a ranch owned by British Doctor Emerson Blake and his beautiful wife Emma. Both scoff at the stories of the beast men and do their best to convince the famous hunter that there must be a logical explanation. Quatermain is almost won over when, after a new attack by the creatures, Mnqoba is counted among the missing. Now he must confront the reality; someone or something has brought death to Zululand? “Quatermain is a classic pulp hero fans can’t get enough of,” says Airship 27 Productions Managing Editor Ron Fortier. “It is the lore of Africa, at a time when adventure and mystery went hand in hand. When Wayne Carey brought us this manuscript, we were overjoyed.” Writer Wayne Carey whips up a thrilling old fashion adventure yarn featuring one of the most endearing heroes in all of literature. British artist Graham Hill provides the cover and graphic illustrator, Clayton Hinkle, the nine black and white interior illustrations. “Allan Quatermain & the Beast Men,” is pure pulp action from start to finish.

THE MOON MAN VOLUME 2
Now available! Airship 27 Productions is proud to announce the releases of their second volume in their series of all new Moon Man adventures. In the middle of the Great Depression, many unscrupulous people found ways to enrich their own wealth while ignoring the plight of those less fortunate. It was an injustice the law could not remedy. Men like Detective Sgt. Stephen Thatcher found themselves at odd with the very laws they were sworn to uphold. But, unlike the others, Thatcher solved his moral dilemma by creating an alter-ego who would rob from the very rich and give to the poor. Wearing a bizarre argus glass globe over his head, the Moon Man became the Robin Hood of Great City and one of pulpdom’s most endearing classic heroes. “The Moon Man was one of the most original pulp heroes of them all,” says Airship 27 Productions’ own Managing Editor, Ron Fortier. “His adventures were always fun and unique unlike any other character from the Golden Age of the Pulps.” Now writers Gene Moyers, Greg Hatcher, Tim Bruckner and Terry Alexander have whipped up four new stories pitting the Moon Man against a variety of foes and challenges. From a group of street kids emulating him to deadly Nazi saboteurs, the globe wearing champion of the underdogs, finds himself battling as never before to see that justice will triumph in the end. This new volume features a stunning cover by British artist Mike Files with twelve interior illustrations by Richard Jun and designed by award winning Art Director Rob Davis. Available
from Amazon in paperback and on Kindle.

F. PAUL WILSON
Guest of Honor 2018
Windy City Pulp and Paper
Convention is a few months away.
CELEBRATING HAROLD HERSEY’S 125TH BIRTHDAY AND THE 90TH ANNIVERSARY OF WINGS AND THE AIR WAR PULPS We’re just one month away from the 18th annual Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention at The Westin Lombard Yorktown Center in Lombard, IL. We’re very pleased to announce that NYT bestselling author F. Paul Wilson will be our Guest of Honor at our 2018 con! Wilson is the author of over 50 books, many of which feature his popular anti-hero, Repairman Jack. Among his numerous awards are the Bram Stoker Award, the Prometheus Award, the Porgie Award and the Inkpot Award. His first published story, “The Cleaning Machine,” appeared in the March 1971 issue of Startling Mystery Stories, while his second appeared a month later, in the April 1971 issue of the John Campbell edited Analog. His newest novel, “The God Gene,” is scheduled to be released by Forge Books on January 2, 2018. Wilson contributed the Foreword to The Art of the Pulps, published in October 2017, where he shared that “I love the pulps. … I’ve been a fan of the pulps since my teens…” We’re excited to have him as our GoH, and we know that our attendees will enjoy meeting him at the convention! Mark it on your calendar...our annual convention that you won't want to miss. With over 150 tables filled with great popular culture material, hundreds of pieces of art on display and for sale, thousands upon thousands of pulps, paperbacks, comic books, digests, hardbacks, and pulp reprints available. Our annual Friday Night Auction is another one to behold. Material from the Glenn Lord estate, [former executor of the Robert E. Howard estate] it's going to be a doozie. Nearly a copy of every pulp Howard appeared in will be auctioned. Artwork from Howard books will be auctioned. And a special piece of Howard memorabilia that will be the talk of the convention will be auctioned. Also, don't forget about our standard Saturday Night auction as well. With more rare and interesting material being offered. Our Guest of Honor F. Paul Wilson will not only be a subject of a panel discussion, but also will be commenting live while Windy City Film Festival plays his novel adaptation "The Keep." Sort of Windy City Film Festival meets Mystery Science Theatre. Author/Pulp Historian John Locke will present his newest in-depth look into the pulps with the Secret Origins of Weird Tales. It is an inside look at how Weird Tales came to be, and the strange forces that lead to the production of one of pulp fandoms most prized publications. Pre-registration for membership is still available. Once you register in advance, you may pick up your membership Thursday night at the Con Suite. CLICK HERE to register. Planning on staying at the Con Hotel? Be sure to reserve your rooms early. You have until the March 20th [or when the block of rooms sell out] to get a room at the convention rate. CLICK HERE to go to the hotel site to make your reservation. Friday Night Auction to feature material from the estate of Glenn Lord This year’s Friday night auction will draw on material
from the estate of Glenn Lord. As literary executor of the Robert E. Howard
estate for nearly three decades, Lord was instrumental in popularizing the
works of Howard, and in making reams of previously unpublished Howard material
available. It would be difficult to overstate his contributions to Howard’s
legacy. Not surprisingly, his own pulp collection was centered around Howard,
but also contained many other titles as well. If you’re a fan of pulps –
and particularly if you’re a fan of the man who brought us Conan and so many
other memorable characters – you won’t want to miss it!
We’ll be posting more details over the coming weeks concerning the pulps, fanzines and other rare material that will be in the auction. One piece of original art that will be in the auction – Frank Utpatel’s original cover art for the second Robert E. Howard Arkham House collection, “The Dark Man and Others”. 2018 Windy City Film Program

ALLAN QUATERMAIN AND THE
BEAST MEN
Now available! Airship 27 Productions is proud to announce the release of the third volume in their series, Allan Quatermain – The New Adventures; based on the classic hero created by H. Rider Haggard. “Allan Quatermain & the Beast Men” is a full length novel by writer Wayne Carey. When all the villagers of several veldt kraals mysteriously go missing, Allan Quatermain finds himself embroiled in one of his most baffling African adventures. Whispers among the Zulus claim weird beast men, half-human and half-cat, are responsible for the abductions. Quatermain and his companion Mnqoba begin their investigation skeptic of the rumors but at the same time baffled by the unexplained disappearances of so many so quickly. Their mission leads them to a ranch owned by British Doctor Emerson Blake and his beautiful wife Emma. Both scoff at the stories of the beast men and do their best to convince the famous hunter that there must be a logical explanation. Quatermain is almost won over when, after a new attack by the creatures, Mnqoba is counted among the missing. Now he must confront the reality; someone or something has brought death to Zululand? “Quatermain is a classic pulp hero fans can’t get enough of,” says Airship 27 Productions Managing Editor Ron Fortier. “It is the lore of Africa, at a time when adventure and mystery went hand in hand. When Wayne Carey brought us this manuscript, we were overjoyed.” Writer Wayne Carey whips up a thrilling old fashion adventure yarn featuring one of the most endearing heroes in all of literature. British artist Graham Hill provides the cover and graphic illustrator, Clayton Hinkle, the nine black and white interior illustrations. “Allan Quatermain & the Beast Men,” is pure pulp action from start to finish. Available
from Amazon in paperback and on Kindle.

THE MOON MAN VOLUME 2
Now available! Airship 27 Productions is proud to announce the releases of their second volume in their series of all new Moon Man adventures. In the middle of the Great Depression, many unscrupulous people found ways to enrich their own wealth while ignoring the plight of those less fortunate. It was an injustice the law could not remedy. Men like Detective Sgt. Stephen Thatcher found themselves at odd with the very laws they were sworn to uphold. But, unlike the others, Thatcher solved his moral dilemma by creating an alter-ego who would rob from the very rich and give to the poor. Wearing a bizarre argus glass globe over his head, the Moon Man became the Robin Hood of Great City and one of pulpdom’s most endearing classic heroes. “The Moon Man was one of the most original pulp heroes of them all,” says Airship 27 Productions’ own Managing Editor, Ron Fortier. “His adventures were always fun and unique unlike any other character from the Golden Age of the Pulps.” Now writers Gene Moyers, Greg Hatcher, Tim Bruckner and Terry Alexander have whipped up four new stories pitting the Moon Man against a variety of foes and challenges. From a group of street kids emulating him to deadly Nazi saboteurs, the globe wearing champion of the underdogs, finds himself battling as never before to see that justice will triumph in the end. This new volume features a stunning cover by British artist Mike Files with twelve interior illustrations by Richard Jun and designed by award winning Art Director Rob Davis. Available
from Amazon in paperback and on Kindle.

AMAZING STORIES
Bringing back science fiction's first and original magazine - Amazing Stories! New Kickstarter campaign for the return of Amazing Stories as a print magazine! Amazing Stories is an institution. It is an icon of the field. Over the years it has represented both the best and the worst that this genre has to offer. It has inspired the careers of authors, artists, editors, academics, scientists and engineers. Its presence proved that there was a viable market for this kind of literature, a fact not lost on other publishers who quickly followed suit. By 1930 there were four magazines in the field, eventually many more. And the fans? They bought every single one of them. Amazing Stories deserves to be an ongoing part of our community. It may be a bit worn around the edges, the spine may be cracked a little and it may shed bits of pulp here and there, but those are love scars. Amazing Stories is not just our progenitor, it is the embodiment of the heart and soul of the genre. We love it. We love what it's done for us, what it represents, what it created. How can we not, when we love Science Fiction? We know you share that love. Please show that love. It's time for Amazing Stories to live again. Checkout the

F. PAUL WILSON
Guest of Honor 2018
Windy City Pulp and Paper
Convention is a few months away.
CELEBRATING HAROLD HERSEY’S 125TH BIRTHDAY AND THE 90TH ANNIVERSARY OF WINGS AND THE AIR WAR PULPS We’re just one month away from the 18th annual Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention at The Westin Lombard Yorktown Center in Lombard, IL. We’re very pleased to announce that NYT bestselling author F. Paul Wilson will be our Guest of Honor at our 2018 con! Wilson is the author of over 50 books, many of which feature his popular anti-hero, Repairman Jack. Among his numerous awards are the Bram Stoker Award, the Prometheus Award, the Porgie Award and the Inkpot Award. His first published story, “The Cleaning Machine,” appeared in the March 1971 issue of Startling Mystery Stories, while his second appeared a month later, in the April 1971 issue of the John Campbell edited Analog. His newest novel, “The God Gene,” is scheduled to be released by Forge Books on January 2, 2018. Wilson contributed the Foreword to The Art of the Pulps, published in October 2017, where he shared that “I love the pulps. … I’ve been a fan of the pulps since my teens…” We’re excited to have him as our GoH, and we know that our attendees will enjoy meeting him at the convention! Mark it on your calendar...our annual convention that you won't want to miss. With over 150 tables filled with great popular culture material, hundreds of pieces of art on display and for sale, thousands upon thousands of pulps, paperbacks, comic books, digests, hardbacks, and pulp reprints available. Our annual Friday Night Auction is another one to behold. Material from the Glenn Lord estate, [former executor of the Robert E. Howard estate] it's going to be a doozie. Nearly a copy of every pulp Howard appeared in will be auctioned. Artwork from Howard books will be auctioned. And a special piece of Howard memorabilia that will be the talk of the convention will be auctioned. Also, don't forget about our standard Saturday Night auction as well. With more rare and interesting material being offered. Our Guest of Honor F. Paul Wilson will not only be a subject of a panel discussion, but also will be commenting live while Windy City Film Festival plays his novel adaptation "The Keep." Sort of Windy City Film Festival meets Mystery Science Theatre. Author/Pulp Historian John Locke will present his newest in-depth look into the pulps with the Secret Origins of Weird Tales. It is an inside look at how Weird Tales came to be, and the strange forces that lead to the production of one of pulp fandoms most prized publications. Pre-registration for membership is still available. Once you register in advance, you may pick up your membership Thursday night at the Con Suite. CLICK HERE to register. Planning on staying at the Con Hotel? Be sure to reserve your rooms early. You have until the March 20th [or when the block of rooms sell out] to get a room at the convention rate. CLICK HERE to go to the hotel site to make your reservation. Friday Night Auction to feature material from the estate of Glenn Lord This year’s Friday night auction will draw on material
from the estate of Glenn Lord. As literary executor of the Robert E. Howard
estate for nearly three decades, Lord was instrumental in popularizing the
works of Howard, and in making reams of previously unpublished Howard material
available. It would be difficult to overstate his contributions to Howard’s
legacy. Not surprisingly, his own pulp collection was centered around Howard,
but also contained many other titles as well. If you’re a fan of pulps –
and particularly if you’re a fan of the man who brought us Conan and so many
other memorable characters – you won’t want to miss it!
We’ll be posting more details over the coming weeks concerning the pulps, fanzines and other rare material that will be in the auction. One piece of original art that will be in the auction – Frank Utpatel’s original cover art for the second Robert E. Howard Arkham House collection, “The Dark Man and Others”. 2018 Windy City Film Program

| Albert
Tonik: July 1, 1925 to February 22, 2018 Albert Tonik, long-time fan, scholar and collector of pulp magazines passed away February 22. The following is from EDitorial Comments by Ed Hulse dated June 6, 2012: One of the last surviving PulpFest attendees who actually bought pulps off the newsstands, Al discovered fandom several decades ago and began collecting anew the rough-paper magazines he enjoyed so much as a youth. But his activity didn’t stop there: Al was determined to document the lives and careers of pulp writers, artists, editors, and publishers. He assiduously tracked down and made contact with surviving pulp-industry veterans, corresponding with many and meeting some face to face. More than a few considered him a friend and granted him unlimited access to their files for his research. Over a period of several decades, Al researched aspects of pulp history previously covered sketchily, if at all. He unearthed long-buried records — letters, ledgers, invoices, inter-office memos — that enabled him to identify the works of pulp writers who had worked under pseudonyms, to determine how much they had been paid for their labors, where and when their stories had been reprinted (if at all), and so on. In the course of this research, which he came to enjoy as much if not more than reading the actual pulps themselves, Al amassed a huge library of reference works that facilitated cross-referencing and added to the wealth of knowledge he uncovered through his friendships with veteran pulpsters. Al has loved sharing his knowledge. As an early member of PEAPS (the Pulp Era Amateur Press Society), he became well known for his contributions entitled “Ramblings of a Perambulating Pulp Fan.” He transcribed interviews, compiled exhaustive bibliographies, and wrote fact-filled articles for such popular fanzines as Echoes, Pulp Vault, The Pulp Collector, Purple Prose, and my own Blood ‘n’ Thunder. Al never wrote a pulp-history book himself, but he supplied hard-to-find information to more than a dozen tomes penned by his friends and fellow pulp scholars. Top photo from the above referenced article on the Murania Press website. Bottom photo courtesy of Tom Johnson shows Al with his ECHOES Award. |
