Synopsis

Haunted Hero When Dr. Miles Murdoch’s brother was murdered by the mobs, he vowed vengeance. In the following weeks, wearing a horrifying death mask, a new avenger appeared on the streets of Akelton, bringing with him righteous retribution. The city now finds itself under the protection of a haunted hero, a mysterious angel of doom who metes out his own brand of permanent justice. In this second volume featuring this little known classic pulp figure, writers Gene Moyers, Paul Kevin Findley, Erik Franklin and David Noe pit the purple-hued Master of Fright against a quartet of villainous opponents: from a gang of deadly jewel thieves to a merciless arsonist bent on burning down the entire city. In these new tales of the Purple Scar, justice and horror are on a collision course you don’t want to miss.

About this title

From the Author:

The Pulp Era saw all kinds of men and women becoming heroes and vigilantes. Doctors however were a bit rare compared to other disciplines and careers (Doc Savage being a rare exception), so fleshing out Miles Murdoch in "Prescription for the Mob" was as much a treat as a task.

About the Author:

Kevin Findley was raised by a kindly couple in a small town in Kansas.  Unfortunately, he misplaced his blue suit and red cape as a child, so he put on a different blue suit after college and served 20 years in the U.S. Air Force.  He retired with the rank of Major back in 2009.  For the next three years, he edited websites for a number of commercial businesses before diving into the world of the freelance writer. This is Kevin's second tale with Airship 27.His first foray into this wonderful, macabre world of pulp was published in 2015. Kevin is married with two kids still at home in California and more scattered throughout the U.S.  His wife is very happy he finally listened to her and took up writing as something other than a hobby.  It keeps him home, makes a few bucks and keeps him out of trouble for the most part.
