“Danger: Dinosaurs at Large!”

DC Special #27 brings Captain Comet face-to-face with "The Incredible Dinosaur Invasion of 1977!" — and Rich Buckler and Joe Rubinstein's cover makes it impossible to look away. A red-suited Captain Comet soars through the air, blasting energy at a massive T. rex rampaging through a city street, while below, two more humans struggle desperately against a second snapping dinosaur amid the urban chaos. It's a wonderfully over-the-top premise delivered with genuine skill, making this Bob Rozakis–scripted issue a thoroughly entertaining slice of late-'70s DC adventure.

Chronos tries to draw a comet with unique temporal powers from the future into 1977, but he loses control and it keeps going into the past. The comet's intense gravity drags a spacecraft from the year 2056 back with it to 100,000,000 BC. The ship contains Col. Tommy Tomorrow, Capt. Brent Wood, and Dr. Schmidt, who were en route from Earth to the planet Vega-IV to treat a space-fever outbreak. Captain Comet battles Chronos, who has opened a time doorway into the distant past, allowing dinosaurs to invade present-day Earth. In the end, the heroes join forces and defeat Chronos.
