I was always a fan of Flesh (http://www.2000adonline.com/?zone=thrill&page=profiles&choice=FLESH) myself.

cresur - Love it.

Dinosaurs, comics, and "One Froggy Evening"!

[Big Les]

They look rather good! I'm reading Raptor Red at the moment, the advantage of books being that they're less subject to obsolescence by new discoveries.

The combined subject of dinosaurs and scantily-clad "jungle girls" has been a favorite of cartoonists and comics artists for years.
Frank Cho, well known for his comic strips, had drawn a number of items such as "jungle girl" and "Shanna the she-devil" with well-drawn dinosaurs.
Even Watterson (Calvin and Hobbs) is a big fan of dino art and often included the critters in his strips.

Bud Root:CaveWoman (which originally had a storyline, now is mostly pin-ups.)

Possibly best summarised as:

"AIEEEEE!"
"AIEEEE!"
"The teeth! AIEEEE!"
**CHOMP**

I loved one drawing in "BC" (yeahh yeahh i know ;) ) where a dino got out in a lake, started sinking, looked at the reader and said : "See you at Shell in 5 mill. years" ..... :D

Hey Ove!

That dino shoulda said, "See you at Sinclair..."

[Shoogar]

And speaking of Jungle Girls (http://comics.org/coverview.lasso?id=13226&zoom=4)

[dudalb]

DC republished about six months ago ,in it's "Showcase" series, "The War That Time Forgot" stories they did in the 1960's.
It's about US Soldiers and Marines in the South Pacific who run into Lost Islands inhabitated by Dinosaurs. It's the World War 2 US military ve Dinos,and it is a lot of good,cheesy,Silver Age fun.

[Shoogar]

dudalb - I have some of the originals buried in boxes in a closet...good stuff. I might have to drag 'em out and reminisce.

Possibly, the strip was translated to Danish when i saw it and there it was Q8 ;) i really don't know the names of gas stations in USA.. But the joke still works :D

Nobody has mentions Xenozoic Tales (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenozoic_Tales) (perhaps better known as "Cadillacs and Dinosaurs") yet?

[Hutch]

I am surprised no one has mentioned perhaps the earliest comic + dinosaur combination, Alley Oop (look at that caveman go..)

Actually, one of the earliest dinosaurs was one of the first animated films. Say hellow to Gertie, boys...

What? No Turok: Son Of Stone, or Devil Dinosaur and Moon Boy?

[Bikewer]

Geez, I remember reading Turok comic books when I was a teen-ager in the 60s...

[gtc]

I just know of the Nintendo 64 videogame version of Turok.

[Big Les]

There's a new Turok out, and it's pretty sweet if the demo is any guide. Even just for wandering around admiring the dinosaurs (only the carnivores actively try to kill you).
