Turok, Son of Stone

From 2009 to 2012, Dark Horse revived the classic prehistorian warrior in a ten-issue series that paid homage to the original Dell Comics run. Drawing on the foundational work of writers Gaylord Du Bois and Paul S. Newman, alongside the iconic art of Rex Maxon and Giovanni Ticci, this modern take kept Turok stranded in the Lost Valley, battling dinosaurs and ancient threats. The series mattered as a respectful, painted reintroduction of one of comics' longest-running adventure heroes, bridging the gap between his Silver Age heyday and contemporary audiences.
