Hey Everybody! I've agreed to share some space with Airship 27's Captain Ron Fortier as he tries to schedule issue 2 of his six part comic book mini-series Beyond The Stars from Silverline.
In his own words...
After its spectacular launch last Fall, Silverline Comics is thrilled to announce the release of issue # 2 of
Ron Fortier’s sci-fi epic, Beyond the Stars. The six part series was co-created by Fortier, a fifty year comic veteran, and Italian pro graphic artist Andrea Bormida. Bormida has been drawing comics for the European market for the past thirty years. This is his first project with an American publisher and he is thrilled to be a part of Silverline comics. The team is finalized by popular comics writer/creator Mike Belcher coming on board as the book’s letterer.
Fortier and Bormida hooked up on a social media site and when Fortier saw samples of artist’s work, he immediately suggested they team up. “Andrea is such a wonderful visual storyteller,” Fortier applauds. “He brings the script to life with his great sense of composition and drama.”
“Super excited for # 2,” Bormida relates, offering his thoughts on the book. “This is where we can see how well #1 was received; if we managed to stir up curiosity and involve the readers.” He also hints at this issue’s details. “We have another great cliffhanger ending and a mystery is upon us.”
After wrapping the letters, Belcher had his own comments on the second issue. “Issue two picks up and
draws our heroes closer together to the fight of their lives. Ron and Andrea leave it all on the field for this one. Breathtaking landscapes and artistry with quick witted dialogue had me hanging on to the last page. And let me tell you, that next to last page takes your breath away as it is. Don’t miss it!”
If you love old fashion space operas with a touch of Flash Gordon, Stars Wars and Star Trek, Beyond the Stars will leave you cheering for more. Also note, those who participate in the new Kickstarter Campaign will be able to pick up issue # 1 should they choose to do so.
To keep informed of the launch, go to the link below. And as ever, thanks so much for your continued support.

I sincerely hope that everyone who enjoyed the first issue, or just loves science fiction in general, can help out with issue 2.—lh,jr.
