ex libris MTP
She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge,
she studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College,
that's where I,
caught her eye.
She told me that her Dad was loaded,
I said "In that case I'll have a rum and coca-cola."
She said "Fine."
and in thirty seconds time she said,
"I want to live like common people,
I want to do whatever common people do,
I want to sleep with common people,
I want to sleep with common people,
like you."
Well what else could I do -
I said "I'll see what I can do."
I took her to a supermarket,
I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere,
so it started there.
I said pretend you've got no money,
she just laughed and said,
"Oh you're so funny."
I said "yeah?
Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here.
Are you sure you want to live like common people,
you want to see whatever common people see,
you want to sleep with common people,
you want to sleep with common people,
like me."
But she didn't understand,
she just smiled and held my hand.
Rent a flat above a shop,
cut your hair and get a job.
Smoke some fags and play some pool,
pretend you never went to school.
But still you'll never get it right,
cos when you're laid in bed at night,
watching roaches climb the wall,
if you call your Dad he could stop it all.
You'll never live like common people,
you'll never do what common people do,
you'll never fail like common people,
you'll never watch your life slide out of view,
and dance and drink and screw,
because there's nothing else to do.
Sing along with the common people,
sing along and it might just get you through,
laugh along with the common people,
laugh along even though they're laughing at you,
and the stupid things that you do.
Because you think that poor is cool.
I want to live with common people,
I want to live with common people ...

John P. Gunnison - Belarski: Pulp Art Masters
Adventure House, 2003
Cover Illustrations: Rudolph Belarski
Cover Design: John Gunnison
Rudolph Belarski is better known today as one of the elite paperback artists of the late 40s and 50s. Pulp collectors know that he honed his craft and produced many fantastic covers for those rough woodpulp magazines better known as "The Pulps". Rudolph Belarski was one of the great American pulp art masters, whose covers were ablaze with color and adventure. 'Belarski: Pulp Art Masters' prints nearly 350 full color pulp covers, many of which are reproduced from the artist's own color proofs and cover archives.
One of the many books Airship 27 now has in production is their first PURPLE SCAR anthology. The Purple Scar was a little known classic pulp hero from the golden age of the pulps. He was a doctor whose police officer brother had been gunned by criminals, then they threw acid in his face and dumped him the river. By the time the poor man's body had been recovered, his face as a thing of horror. Our hero, being a plastic surgeon, made a death-masks of it...then putting it on, became the avenging angel known as the Purple Scar. What is unique about the character is that he combines elements both from the pulps and horror mags into one gruesome characters. Luckily while on-line, Airship 27 discovered the art of Canadian Richard Serrao and knew immediately he was the one artist to capture what we envisioned for this kind of book. Happily Richard signed on and has been hard at work doing the illustrations for the first two Purple Scar stories of the four that will be part of volume one. Meanwhile, Richard has become so fond of the character, between doing the actual story illos, he has started whipping up what he calls "bonus" pieces and has been so kind as to share at our Airship 27 blog. Airship 27's plans are to include these extra illustrations as a special bonus feature in the back of the book when it goes to press. Stay tuned.

On other fronts, Ron Fortier, the Air Chief, has been extremely busy with new writing chores. He currently almost done writing the comic script to MR. JIGSAW # 12 and has just started work on a new pulp story, The Lady in Red, which will appear in the second collection of BROTHER BONES stories, that you can expect to see early next year. Before that Airship 27 will be putting out an original Brother Bones novel, THE SIX DAYS OF THE DRAGON, by writer Roman Leary. Believe the Air Chief, its special.

One of the many projects Airship 27 has currently in the works is AIRSHIP 27 presents ALL STAR PULP COMICS # 3 which should be out early next year.
Like the first two issues, it will feature comic strip stories of classic pulp heroes. One such will be a new Ki-Gor Jungle Lord adventure by writer David Beers and artist Sam Salas (see posted art). Looks to be lots of fun.

Several Christmases ago, I opened my last present from my lovely wife Kim. It was over four yards of this fabric: purple, yellow, red, gold, blue, and, well, pretty much what you see here.
Only more so.
It's basically scantily-clad humanoid females of otherworldly voluptuousness, clad in (very little) science-fiction space garb of the sort associated with pulp novels of the most lurid kind. They're on the surfaces of airless moons (not in pressure suits, but hey, they're hot), fighting with killer robots, blasting alien ships in weird configurations, and standing in stark, curvaceous outline against the craggy surface of some alien world.
And it was mine! All mine! A full four yards!
"Make me a shirt, sweetie," I said.
"That's why I bought you the fabric," she replied.
You see, for many years, Kim was a quilter, and she haunted the better fabric stores of wherever we lived in search of interesting, unusual fabric. As a result, we occasionally found fabric that made me think, "I'd love a shirt out of that." And because the Hawaiian shirt is the most comfortable article of clothing known to man, I had at one time a collection of various hand-made Hawaiian shirts, from different wild prints.
This one, however, takes the cake. Or perhaps a bowl of poi, I'm not sure. Or maybe it's a cake flavored with Rythenian squeezil-berries (they say no human male can resist them...) Ahem.
And so it came to pass, in the fulness of time, that summer arrived and with it, Jeff's Pig Roast. The annual Bacchanalia of barbecue, the Sybarus of sizzling roast-pork goodness, the social event of the YEAR, in which easily 250 of the area's top road race, rally, autocross and other socialites arrive to partake of great hunks of roast pig and, this year, of Mai Tais.
That was my job—I was bartender. I took it VERY seriously. I set up a fog-machine-powered volcano in front of the Tiki Hut, and I made, no lie, probably 300 Mai Tais.
The best were inspired by Portland's Art Bar, where they use pineapple juice and three kinds of rum—dark rum and coconut rum in the drink, with a float of 151 and a wedge of lime. Amazingly good stuff.
And I made them by the hundred, all while wearing this shirt.
(Many of you, I'm sure, would rather have seen my co-bartender, the lovely Kala Rounds, who looked really quite luscious in her grass skirt and bikini top, but sadly I didn't have my Nikon that year.)
But yeah. The only thing better than this shirt, is making 300 Mai Tais while wearing this shirt. It has EARNED its Aloha status.
Oh, and as for my Tiki Bar: it has been converted to traveling mode and on Saturday, it's heading to Kirkland, Washington on its way to Tuktoyaktuk, in the Canadian Yukon, as part of Team Mitsubishi's participation in this year's Winter AlCan 5000. Jeff is part of a team of six, split into identically prepared Mitsubishi Outlanders, for this 5000-mile rally over snowy roads, frozen rivers, and even a frozen toe of the Arctic Ocean. He figures that they will REALLY need some Aloha spirit by the time they're that far north, so the Tiki Bar is going with him.
