ISSUE 26 - MAY/JUNE 2009
Issue 26 is here and my god what a job we had getting it out
on time!
Hopefully this story will explain a little bit of the troubles
we went
through for you people! Stringfellow Hawke is a test pilot
for ‘Airwolf’, an advanced supersonic
helicopter with stealth capabilities
and a formidable arsenal. Airwolf was built by the ‘FIRM’,
a division
of the CIA. But it gets stolen by its twisted creator, Doctor
Charles
Henry Moffet, aka, Archangel. This is a right shitty situation.
The
deputy director of the ‘FIRM’ asked Hawke to go
to Libya and get it
back. After finding himself stripped of ‘FIRM’ support
and discovering
that his pilot-episode love-interest Gabrielle is undercover
in Libya,
Hawke, with Santini's assistance, finds Airwolf and recovers
it. But
Hawke chooses not to return it. Instead, Hawke and Santini
hide
Airwolf, booby trapped, in an extinct volcano (the Lair) in
the remote ‘Valley of the Gods’ (visually
modeled on Monument Valley). Hawke
refuses to return Airwolf until the ‘FIRM’ can
recover his brother,
St. John, who has been missing in action since Vietnam. To
get access
to Airwolf, Archangel offers Hawke protection from other government
agencies who will try to recover Airwolf in exchange for flying
missions of national importance for the Firm! Basically it’s
a
bullshit situation and Hawke has been well and truly ‘shafted’ but
at
least Issue 26 is out on time and it looks fantastic! The Cover
was
done by Nick at Tugboat Studios and our mate Joe Davis got
to grace
the cover!
You think that’s it? Hell no sister! There
is also a full colour
poster that’s free in every magazine and to our lovely
subscribers a
free CD from those masters of sounds…The Black Tibetans!!
I know, I
haven’t heard of them either but apparently they do a
mean version of‘Blue Suede Shoes’.

waiting for…Subscribe Now!!!
