The time is 1935. After a decade of fame as the Queen of the
Serials, Hollywood actress Gloria Swann is dismayed to see her
box-office numbers dwindling with each new production. Desperate to
reclaim her popularity, she bankrolls her own film project; an over
the top jungle adventure to be shot on location in the wilds of the
Amazon rainforests of Brazil. After the crew and cast arrive at
their isolated destination, a series of accidents occur threatening
the lives of several of the players. The main target of these
unexplained mishaps is Swann's younger stunt double, Angela Morgan.
She suspects there are evil forces lurking in the jungle that
threaten their safety. Her only ally in this belief is veteran
stunt coordinator Karl Braun. When Gloria Swann mysteriously
disappears, Angela may be the only hope the Queen of Escapes has to
survive. Writer Curtis Fernlund's homage to the classic film
serials of yesterday is a rousing, fast paced adventure that speeds
from one danger-filled cliffhanger to the next. James Lyle provides
marvelous interior illustrations and Andy Fish captures all the fun
in his gorgeous cover painting, packaged and designed by Rob Davis.
It is the summer of 1933 and the Windy City is hosting the fabulous
World's Fair. The famous Navy Pier along the shores of Lake
Michigan is invaded by thousands of tourists from around the nation
and the world; all there to marvel at the newest scientific
advancements on display. But within this glittering pleasure park
of wonder lurks a devilish fiend set upon causing mass destruction
and ruining the Fair; a scientist turned mad employing a bizarre
sonic cannon to commit murder and chaos amongst the innocent
throngs. Now it will be up to the unlikeliest hero of them all, the
odd, notorious Bagman, to save the day. Writer B.C. Bell sends his
one time petty crook, Frank Mac McCullough back into action in
this, the Bagman's first full length adventure. Along with his
loyal buddy, the ace mechanic, Crankshaft, Chicago's most unusual
mystery man must find the lunatic inventor and put an end to his
heinous attacks before more people will die. Also features a very
special cameo by writer Calvin Daniels' own new pulp hero, the
Black Wolf. So slap another clip in your .45, straighten your tie
and put that bag over your head, pulp fans; here comes the Bagman,
delivering justice in his own peculiar way. AIRSHIP 27 PRODUCTIONS
