 The comic book hero Rick Random is the
chief trouble shooter of the Interplanetary Bureau of Investigation. He is the most
collected character in the Brittish comic book called the Super Detective Library.
Ron Turner's style was totally original. No one had ever
drawn like him in comics. His exciting line and his use of black and white, giving
sometimes an almost negative image, combined with the soaring imagination to create a
completely credible futuristic world of awesome wonder. (Ashford & Holland)

DO YOU WANT TO READ THEM?
All Rick Randoms and thousands of other good old comics are
available as facsimile reprints. Ask the catalogue from Nostalgic Comics Creations. I did so. Soon after that
I made my order from England. Now I can recommend these quality reprints for anyone, who
wants to read rare comic books.
