Captain Hazzard - Cavemen of New York
Airship 27 Production and Cornerstone Book Publishers are thrilled to announce the release of CAPTAIN HAZZARD – CAVEMEN OF NEW YORK; the fourth in this new series by pulpsmith, Ron Fortier. The adventures of the Champion of Justice were re-launched in 2006 when Fortier undertook to bring this long lost hero back to pulpdom’s center stage. He did this by completely re-writing the one and only Captain Hazzard adventure, PYTHON MEN OF THE LOST CITY, dated May 1938. Adding new chapters and filling in numerous plot holes, Fortier edited this new version and former DC artist, Rob Davis provided the artwork.
Hot on the heels of that book’s debut and success, Fortier then co-wrote, with acclaimed comics writer Martin Powell, CITADEL OF FEAR; the first all new Captain Hazzard thriller in over 68 years. That book’s critical success soon prompted his re-write of the third chapter in the saga, CURSE OF THE RED MAGGOT, released in 2007 sporting a painted cover by Mark Maddox. Now comes another all new, thrilled packed adventure, CAVEMEN OF NEW YORK.
When two evil madmen of science devise a fantastic scheme to bring New York City to its knees under a mountain of freezing snow, it’s up to Captain Hazzard and his Fighting Five to stop them. But can even their courage and daring prepare them to combat an army of savage cavemen? This time Captain Hazzard will ally himself with an intrepid pulp writer named Lester Dent, while his cousin, Doctor Martin Tracey, will employ all his medical skills to save the life of a very brave young boy. CAVEMAN OF NEW YORK is filled with all the pulse-pound pulp action and adventure pulp fans have come to expect from the one and only Captain Hazzard!
