Lone Star annual
The frontispiece for the Lone Star annual no.2 by Ron Turner. Not sure of the year: late 50s-early 60s?

The Racing Car
By Ron Turner. This is from the Lone Star annual. There's no year on the book, but I think it's 1962.

Scoop Donovan-War Cameraman
Ron Turner provides Scoop Donovan art for this issue of Film Fun dated, 24th June 1961. In my opinion Turner wasn't a war artist. He had a great style, but his mind wasn't really set to the subject matter. By that I mean that he hasn't really researched the strip all that well. The weapons/uniforms/equipment are an approximation rather than being realistic. What he was really suited to (and excelled in) was sci-fi. He was a master of the hi-tech future.
I like how he renders Scoop's right arm and body as he's swimming under water in the last frame of page one-how it loses definitition and becomes a series of lines. See how he renders things as they recede into the distance like the German artillary and landing craft in frames 10 and 11 on page 2.

Wonder-Car.
This is a nice piece of original Ron Turner art. From Whizzer and Chips? Was just going through my old files and came across this image that I 'borrowed' from the Compalcomics site a while ago. Some of the word balloons have fallen off but you can see the stain from the glue on the pages. I love the way RT drew machinery. Go here to see more of his work. I'd love to see a Space Ace reprint. I'm assuming it's out of copyright now?

Thingumajig.
From Whizzer and Chips dated January 29th 1977. Art by the great Ron Turner, who was (in my opinion) a fantastic sc-fi artist. Seems to be a bit sad seeing him on this kind of earth-bound story. As far as I can remember most of his work appeared in black and white during the 70s. Gone were the days of Rick Random and full-colour Dalek strips. Have a look here for more examples of his work.
