| Lovely pencils on this Rick Random adventure – look at bottom panel, page 3 as an example. I wonder who the artist was? A pan-galactic outing for Rick as he unravels a murder mystery using some prescient technology – DNA analysis on a glove, a subconscious thought reader, a warp drive, fax machine and that’s just for starters.
There’s an attractive feline empath with pointy ears by the name of Feleena Smark and more alien species than a Mos Eisley cantina. The world-building underlines the strength of the picture library format giving the writer and artist time to fill in detail. A visual feast! |

| Love to know who the artist was, the visual imagination is stunning. |
|
| Well as I'm sure everyone knows by now, the incomparable UK SF Icon Ron Turner is the artist responsible for this great work of drama and imagination. It doesn't get any better than this! Thanks to hoover and CB+ for preserving it for us to enjoy. |
