A True treasue! Thanks Dark Horse,
By
This review is from: Turok: Son of Stone Archives Volume 1 (Hardcover)
Turok, Son of Stone was always one of my favorite books. As a younger collector, I would read the Gold Key reprints, and evey now and then, an 'original'.
Written by Gaylord DuBois, Paul S Neuman, and illustrated by a variety of Tarzan artists (Rex Moxon, Bob Corea), the stories were perfect for the explorative reader. By that I mean, readers who wanted to explore, and ask the question "What if I ..." Each story followed each other, and one cavern, one cave, one river led to another escape and/or discovery. Conflict? How many ways can a dinosaur attck Turok and Andar? For readers who loved dinosaurs, this series was heaven sent. Where else could you read about dinosaurs, and read comics at the same time. I can imagine that teachers of the 1950's probably approved of this book. Volume One reprints Four Color 596, 656, #3, #4, #5, and #6, cover to cover, without ads. The artwork reproduction is amazing, and the new color is remarkable. Of all the pages, I only saw a few glitches, two or three b/w pages, which look great in b/w, and one scan of a page that was stained. I highly recommend this book for any Turok fan. 1954 to present...55 years and going strong! Tim Lasiuta

Turok lives again!,
By Whoopie "Sky Dipper" (Bay Area Ca) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Turok: Son of Stone Archives Volume 1 (Hardcover)
As a child, dinosaurs enthralled me. I first discovered Turok Son of Stone probably in late 1957. I was definitely reading this Dell comic in 1958, always begging my parents to buy me any issue I spotted on the news rack. By then, the comic's format was set. Turok and Andar were trapped in Lost Valley without friends and killing honkers with their lethal poison arrows and facing threats from enemy cavemen. This Dark Horse volume 1 reprints the very first six issues of the Turok comic - stories I never read from 1954-1957. The format was not yet set. Turok and Andar had cavemen friends and there were multiple Lost valleys interconnected by caves. The duo not only encountered dinosaurs (called "Hoppers"), but numerous prehistoric mammals. I always used to wonder how Turok got trapped in Lost Valley never thinking the answer would come to me over fifty years later.
I found this volume a total delight. The color pages are printed on bright white glossy paper superior to the dull paper Dell used to run in the original comic. Dell would run stories right through to the back cover with the inside back cover panels always published in black and white. This is correctly reproduced in this volume. William Stout's fine introduction gives background information on the comic book. This is a quality product. I look forward to volume two.

Turok Archive #1,
By
This review is from: Turok: Son of Stone Archives Volume 1 (Hardcover)
Very nice book, intend to purchase the next ones in the series. Coloring is a little murky compared with original comics but nothing I can't live with. Don't look for an exact reproduction, as the archive volumes are printed on glossy paper, which has different characteristics from those of the original pulp paper. Wish the credits were more specific. Lots of neat Charles R. Knight and Rudolph Zallinger swipes in the dinosaur art.
