Fleetway Picture Library Classics Presents: Rick Random

Argumento

A thrilling collection of four complete Rick Random stories

Originally published in Super Detective Library issues 79, 101, 111 and 115 in the late 1950s, these four tales feature Rick Random, “the first detective of the space age”. Set in the 21st century, Random, as the Head of the Interplanetary Bureau of Investigation, is called upon to solve mysteries that can take him all over the universe. Along the way he encounters amazing alien races and their fantastic technologies as he seeks truth and justice.

These four stories also chart Ron Turner's development into one of Britain's greatest science fiction comic artists. His incredible designs and renderings of aliens, spacecraft and equipment can easily stand shoulder to shoulder with his American contemporaries, Wally Wood and Jack Kirby and, on occasion, even surpass them. So, let's blast off with Rick and Ron to a stunning future.
