This is pure nostalgia: Egmont in Finland has republished 1950s pulp scifi with a series of Rick Random and Jet-Ace Logan comics. Were the stories really this bad? But Ron Turner‘s style of drawing has certain “Edgar Rice Burroughs style” fantasy in it.

Hello Frans, intrigued to read about these vintage and fondly-remembered strips, and I’d love to see one of these reprint editions, or at least photocopies of them to get some idea what they’re like. Not only do I collect vintage SF strips but I actually scripted a ‘Jet-Ace Logan’ story which Ron Turner beautifully illustrated. Can you buy these Egmont titles in England…? Best Wishes 2U -Andy-

Andy, I am not sure whether Egmont sales outside of Finland (these are Finnish language in any case). They have an online shop, but you need to understand Finnish also there: http://www.egmontshop.fi/epages/egmont.axl/?ObjectPath=/Shops/egmont
