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. RICK RANDOMÕS MYSTERIES IN SPACE is an amazing treat for fans of both the science
fiction and detective genres.
