Amazon.com Review

From the pages of Mark Schultz's comic book Dinosaur Shaman: Nine Tales from the Xenozoic Age comes this story of a post-apocalyptic world in which dinosaurs return to earth. You may be familiar with the animated television show that was created from this comics; but whether you liked that show or haven't even heard of it, take my word that the comic book is much better. It's sort of like a science fiction version of Tarzan.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent comic. Better than pajama-clad superheroes., August 13, 1997

Mix Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, and a little Mad Max and what do you get? Probably this excellent series of comics. Mark Schultz has dreamed up a truly original fantasy world. Set 600 years in the future, in the mythical "Xenozoic Age," mankind no longer dominates the earth. The ecosystems represent all ages of earth. T-rexes and mammoths walk side-by-side. Sure, this isn't very likely, but it is a lot of fun. Unlike most comic artists, Schultz can not only draw but he can tell a good story (Steve Stiles does a good job also). Schultz's landscapes are extremely detailed and extremely beautiful. My only problem with the comic is that the dinosaurs are a little primtive-looking (stand upright, drag tails). However, the reader will notice that in later issues Schultz's dinosaurs become more scientifically correct. Still, this is an excellent comic. Take it from someone who dosen't usually read comics

My cherished copy of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs that I found in a Tacoma used book store ages ago. If your library doesn't have any of Marc Shultz's Xenozoic Tales you really should track some down! I read in a book by Bruce Campbell that director Sam Raimi likes to put as much "mush-mush" in every scene he films as possible, where mush-mush is described as anything cool that can jazz up the scene in some way (dolly zooms, point of view shorts, high speed sequences that are played back backwards as to look otherworldly). Xenozoic Tales more than any other comic is chock full of mush-mush. There's dinosaurs fighting mammoths, classic cars, drowned cities, a hero in the style of "Doc Savage", a bucksome curvaceous heroine cut from the same cloth as an Edgar Rice Burroughs princess; you just couldn't deliver more pulp-era super cool stuff into one comic title.
