Of course this series continued from "Reptilicus" 1 & 2. When Charlton lost the rights to the "character" they changed the name starting with issue 3 to "Reptisaurus." And - they also removed all his teeth! |
|
Toothless is certainly the word for this. Despite the wayout plot, it is surprisingly difficult to find any redeeming qualities here. |
|
When Charlton revamped the Reptilicus title to Reptisaurus , The Terrible making the monster no more terrifying than Cecil The Sea Sick Sea Serpent , Repitilicus sure lost his mojo. I was saddened but still bought every issue. Four issues later with issue #7
Repitisaurus got his mojo back! |
|
In addition to his mojo, #7 gave Reptisaurus a stylish horn on his schnozz. |
