Ravenwood/Black Bat shift to a Special Edition

I was on the Dynamite Entertainment message board earlier today discussing the Guns Of The Black Bat mini series from Moonstone Books.

Being that Ron Fortier's work was the topic of conversation, it occurred to me to ask who among the regular visitors might be readers of Airship 27's material. While gathering the link to display on the message board for those who may not have been aware of Fortier's (and Rob Davis') publishing company, I came across the following solicitation.
Of the original Ravenwood Stepson of Mystery stories, there were only ever five. In the past three years Airship 27 Productions has published nine short stories and one full length novel starring this unique occult detective. 
Airship 27 Productions is thrilled to reprint four of those fan-favorite tales in this new edition. This volume features writers Aaron Smith, Jonathan Fisher, Gene Moyers and Ron Fortier, as each adds his own storytelling talents to one of pulpdom’s least known but most original heroes. Sit back and prepare to encounter bizarre, supernatural mysteries as only Airship 27 Productions can deliver. 
(reprints three stories from the out of print Ravenwood: Stepson of Mystery V.2 and a Ravenwood story from OCCULT Detectives V.1).
In December 2015, writer Aaron Smith pointed out to me (on Twitter) that his story in the second volume of Ravenwood: Stepson of Mystery included The Black Bat. I'd added that book to my wish list on Amazon but it was never in stock.

Small wonder! As stated above, it's out of print! But since Aaron Smith is listed among the writers in the Special Edition, then presumably his story from volume two is included in it now instead.

You can purchase Ravenwood from Amazon.com or Createspace.
