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 RandomÕs 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 RANDOMÕS MYSTERIES IN SPACE is an amazing treat for fans of both the science fiction and
detective genres. This volume collects SUPER-DETECTIVE LIBRARY issues #127, 129, 133, 137, 139, 143,
153 & 163. The only scans I could locate FOR U.K. SUPER-DETECTIVE LIBRARY #127 were missing four
pages. If you have access to the scans of the complete issue please let me know. THIS BOOK IS
AVAILABLE IN BOTH HARDCOVER AND TRADE PAPERBACK FORMATS
