People are people whether on Earth or in outer space. Unfortunately that means human failings like crime will inevitably follow us as we explore the cosmos. Kidnapping, murder, extortion and theft continue to be transgressions that need investigation even among the stars. Luckily veteran of the Cosmic Wars, Rick Random, is on the case. As an agent for the Interplanetary Bureau of Investigation Rick Random’s mission is to solve mysteries on the various Earth colonies across the universe. Illustrators Bill Lacey and Ron Turner both have exemplary crisp and detailed art that is reminiscent of the later works of the brilliant Alex Raymond and Hal Foster. The series is vastly better than this humble description. Rick Random ultimately appeared in twenty-six issues of U.K. SUPER-DETECTIVE LIBRARY. The hope is enough people are interested in this series to merit the printing of all his adventures from this periodical. RICK RANDOM’S MYSTERIES IN SPACE is an amazing treat for fans of both the science fiction and detective genres. This book was compiled with the best images currently available. That stated, these comics are sixty-three years old. The best efforts have been made to make the pages as enjoyable as possible but not every panel is perfect and some allowances for the age of the books need to be considered when judging the overall contents
