Fantasy/Adventure/Pulp Fiction.
In 2006, pulp fan and writer, Ron Fortier, brought back a long lost pulp hero, Captain Hazzard. Originally published by A.A.Wyn's Magazine Publishers Incorporated with only one issue dated May 1938. Fortier completely rewrote this solo adventure titled, Python Men of the Lost City, doctoring the book's many plot holes and adding new chapters to strengthen the narrative to the resounding applause of pulp fans everywhere. Not only was the book a big hit, but it also became the first in a series of brand new Captain Hazzard adventures.
Now, Cornerstone Book Publishers is extremely happy to announce the release of a brand new edition of Captain Hazzard - Python Men of the Lost City, by Ron Fortier and Chester Hawks. Featuring a stunning new cover by the Mark Maddox, the book reprints the entire Fortier re-write and is accompanied by new article by pulp historian, Norman Hamilton detailing the origin of the Champion of Justice and his shot-lived pulp title. Design and interior illustrations were provided by Rob Davis.
Since its publication, Fortier had gone on to do three additional Captain Hazzard books; Citadel of Fear (with writer Martin Powell), Curse of the Red Maggot (again with Chester Hawks) and the latest, Cavemen of New York, released in 2008.
Captain Kevin Douglas Hazzard travels the globe fighting evil and injustice wherever it rears its ugly head. He is accompanied by a team of loyal aides; Jake Cole, Montana sharpshooter; Martin Tracey, surgeon; Washington MacGowen, scientific genius; Tyler Randall, ace pilot; and William Crawley, crime reporter. Their adventures are the stuff of legends.
