Turok, Son of Stone #1
This hardcover archive collects the earliest adventures of Turok and his companion Andar, originally published in Dell Comics' Four Color series in the 1950s. The volume reprints the first appearances of the Native American heroes as they navigate a prehistoric valley filled with dinosaurs and other dangers, presented in full color with restored artwork. It marks the beginning of Dark Horse's comprehensive reprint series for this classic Western-dinosaur hybrid franchise.
Turok, Son of Stone #1 (2009, Dark Horse) kicks off with "The Dinosauria," a thrilling plunge into a hidden world beneath the Earth’s surface. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and brought to life with bold, dynamic art by Rex Maxon, the story follows young Native American hunter Turok and his friend Andar as they stumble upon a cave system leading to a lush, perilous jungle teeming with dinosaurs and ancient creatures. The cover by Robert C. Susor captures the wild wonder of this forgotten realm, setting the stage for an adventure that’s equal parts mystery and survival.
Turok and his young companion Andar stumble upon a hidden cave system during a hunt, unaware of the ancient world waiting beneath the surface. What begins as a journey through treacherous tunnels unfolds into a breathtaking discovery: a lost jungle where dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures roam, untouched by time.
Turok and Andar venture deep into the untamed jungle, where they encounter a wary tribe of cavemen. When the tribe’s suspicion turns to awe, Turok demonstrates the deadly precision of poisoned arrows—proving that even the mightiest dinosaurs can fall to clever hunters.
Turok and Andar lead a group of stone age people to a seemingly safe campsite on a mesa, only to find it already claimed by a massive, fearsome ape. As the tribespeople tremble in fear, the two warriors must face the giant beast and protect their people from the danger lurking in the highlands.
In "The Stick Thrower," Turok and Andar face a grieving cow mastodon driven to rage after losing her calf. With courage and quiet determination, they set out to mend a broken bond, leading the beast through the wilds to a place where she might finally find peace.
In the wilds of prehistoric terrain, Lotor the father raccoon faces a desperate challenge: feed his family. With a hungry Allosaurus blocking his path to the frog swamp, he risks everything for a meal—only to lose his catch in a frantic escape. But on his way home, empty-pawed and weary, he stumbles upon a hidden treasure: a clutch of fresh eggs left behind by Mrs Allosaurus. A chance at salvation, or a trap in the making?
