Four New Mysteries Amidst the fog covered alleys and byways of
London, murder and mayhem run rampant. With the dawning of a new
century, Consulting Detective Sherlock Holmes and his able
assistant, Dr. Watson represent the forces of truth and justice,
ready to confront the villainy of these new modern horrors. Here is
another quartet of unique, perplexing cases that will challenge
this noble duo and test their fortitude and courage. Why would
someone murder an old man a few months before his hundredth
birthday? Why is Holmes' arch nemesis, Prof. Moriarty, hunting the

Great Detective is arrested and imprisoned for attempting to seduce
the wife of a wealthy nobleman, Watson questions whether his friend
has finally lost his mind. Within these pages, writers Chuck
Miller, Aaron Smith, I.A. Watson and Andrew Salmon offer up four of

Clippers of the Clouds In the early 20th Century, German Count
Ferdinand von Zeppelin pioneered the creation of rigid,
lighter-than-air craft capable of long distance flights. During
World War One they were adapted for military use as long range
bombers wreaking havoc upon Great Britain from their lofty
positions high above the clouds where fixed-winged fighters could
not reach them. After the war, Zeppelins became pleasure ships
utilized in luxury Trans-Atlantic Flights and were highly popular.
The Golden Era of the airship was the 1930s, the same period as
that of the pulps and it is no surprise their romantic images would
inspire pulp writers of the time. The original monthly, ZEPPELIN
STORIES, was produced solely to highlight these magnificent flying
machines in exciting, colorful and fast-paced adventures. Now,
Airship 27 Productions, itself bearing the image of these
high-flying cruisers, launches a brand-new series devoted to
airships. In this debut volume you will thrill to the exploits of
Jim Beard's new hero, Tracer Talbot, as he encounters a mysterious
pirate airship and her crew. While writer I.A. Watson sets off on
an aerial adventure aboard an experimental Zeppelin built to
explore the skies of an alien dimension. Join us as AIRSHIP 27 -
ZEPPELIN TALES Volume One soars into the stratosphere of the
