| Airship 27:SECRET AGENT X-Volume II (Deluxe reprint
edition.)
- Now available! Airship 27 Productions and Cornerstone Book Publishers are very happy to announce the release of our second collection of Secret Agent X stories first published two years ago. Since the first edition sold out, Airship 27 Productions was very anxious to get this book back in print; this time with a brand new story by B.C. Bell added to the reprinted gems penned by Sean Ellis, G.L.Gick and Kevin Noel Olson. All of which now paves the way for Airship 27 Productions to continue the series based on pulpdom’s first and greatest super spy, Secret Agent X, The Man of a Thousand Faces. Secret Agent X was published by Periodical House. It was launched by veteran pulp writer Paul Chadwick under the penname of Brant House in 1934 with the first adventure called The Torture Trust. Secret Agent X was a government funded anti-crime crusader. His real name and identity were never revealed during the curse of his 41 stories that ran until March of 1939. The character exhibited many similarities with other pulp heroes of the time such as The Shadow, The Green Lama and Operator 5. Although he would never reach their status in sales, Secret Agent X was the only real successful single-character title the company ever produced. Chadwick penned the first sixteen issues before moving on. There would be a total of 41 Secret Agent X stories published during the course of the hero’s run. “We are aware of Altus Press’s current project of reprinting the entire run of the original Secret Agent X adventures,” commented Ron Fortier, Airship 27 Productions co-founder and managing editor. “We’d like to think our books perfectly compliment those reprint volumes. Now pulp fans have more Secret Agent X stories to look forward to on a regular basis.” With the publication of this reprint edition, Airship 27 Productions is now gearing up to continue the series and hopes to have the all new Volume III out before the end of the year. Edited by Fortier (Captain Hazzard and the Ghost Squad), this reprint edition also contains twelve black and white illustrations by Rob Davis (Star Trek) and features a stunning cover by Davis and Chris Carney. SECRET AGENT X: VOLUME TWO “Secret Agent “X” and the Masterpiece of Vengeance” by Sean Ellis “Secret Agent “X” and Betty Dale: Gun Moll” by Kevin Noel Olson “Secret Agent “X” and The Plague Doctor ” by G.L.
