With the island teeming with prehistoric threats, they fight their way through swarms of dinosaurs, narrowly escaping a stampede that meets a sudden end on the beach. As they fend off a flying dinosaur, a PBY arrives to pull them to safety—just in time to witness the final, explosive end of the age of dinosaurs.

In "Guinea Pig Patrol!", a lone paratrooper washed ashore, broken and silent, sets off a desperate mission: a new squad is sent to follow the same treacherous route, chasing rumors of a terrifying threat known as "Flying Guinea Pigs." As they navigate a jungle battlefield teeming with prehistoric horrors—pterodactyls screeching from the skies, giant eels surging from the depths, and monstrous lambeosaurs emerging from the mist—every step becomes a fight for survival.

Days later, the island vanishes in a blaze of fire, its fate sealed by the sky above.

In "The Robot and the Dinosaur!", a battle-tested soldier named Mac is paired with a newly issued G.I. Robot—his reluctant, overzealous partner—in a high-stakes mission on a mysterious Pacific Island. As they face down dinosaurs both in the sky and on the ground, the robot’s unwavering obedience proves both a lifeline and a liability, forcing Mac to rely on a machine that never hesitates, even when it shouldn’t. When danger strikes from every direction, it’s the robot’s quick thinking and surprising instincts that keep them both alive—though not without a few close calls.

With dinosaurs.” “Show me!”

In "The War on Dinosaur Island!", a group of soldiers known as the Flying Boots are tasked with delivering a tank to a remote island, only to find themselves caught in a surreal battle against prehistoric creatures both at sea and in the sky.

In "The Nightmare War!", Phil’s recurring terror of being chased by a dinosaur takes a bizarre turn when war breaks out—only to find his fellow soldiers plagued by the same nightmare. Tossed into a surreal battle on Dinosaur Island, they fight through prehistoric horrors with grenades and a howitzer, only to be flung into a cloud and crash-landed beside a warship. But even in the safety of sick bay, the dreams return, leaving them wondering if the nightmare is truly behind them.

In "Battle of the Dinosaur Aquarium!", two frogmen plunge into the treacherous Yellow-Fin Straits on a secret mission to locate a hidden Japanese submarine base. Armed with an experimental sea sled and an underwater bazooka, they battle through a prehistoric underwater nightmare—giant crabs, leviathan fish, sea serpents, and ancient turtles—before uncovering the shocking truth: the enemy is holed up in a submerged "Dinosaur Aquarium." With quick thinking and a daring maneuver, they turn the enemy’s own torpedoes against them and make a desperate escape back to Pearl.

The story unfolds with pulse-pounding tension and a haunting dream of a creature that defies nature, bridging two worlds in unexpected ways.

In "Dinosaur Sub-Catcher!", a lone frogman surfaces from the Arctic ice, barely alive and clutching a story no one will believe—of a sub sent to a remote weather station that stumbled upon a prehistoric sea filled with coelacanths, sea serpents, and swimming dinosaurs.

The mission’s survivors return to the surface, but the real danger may not be the past—it’s being dismissed as madness.
