Collecting Ron Turner - part 1

As a kid I easily recognised Ron Turner's distinctive art style but never warmed too it, seeing it as not nearly detailed enough for my tastes (based around the space work of Frank Hampson, Frank Bellamy and Ian Kennedy) but you live and learn and now I'm a keen collector of his work. So I thought Id share some of the items that are out there for any other Turner fans...

Before John Lawrence started producing his fantastic 'Space Ace' magazine he produced these 4 beauties...

Issue 1 (Sep/Oct 1985) contains "Mission to Vorga" and "Space Ace and the wreckers"


Issue 2 (Nov/Dec 1985) features the continuation of "Mission to Vorga" and "Space Ace and the hunter of Hankora"

Issue 3 (Feb 1986) features the conclusion of "Mission to Vorga" and "Space Ace and the terror on Titan"

Final issue (August 1986) has 2 Space Ace stories - "Space Ace and Blasco's revenge" and "Space Ace and the guided missile"

All are A5 sized and are 32-36 pages long - well worth checking out.
