Turok, son of stone
« on: September 30, 2010, 04:08:16 AM »

 DarkHorse comics are releasing a new version the old `60's Dell/Gold Key comic 'Turok, son of stone' with issue #1 going on sale October 13th. The original lost prehistoric valley story concept from Dell will be used (Varient's `90's re-do used an apocalyptic theme). As a fan of the original series, I'm willing to give the first issue a look.

I haven't really thought about collecting a comic (other than reprints or downloadable older stuff) for nearly a decade...
Oddly enough Turok Son of Stone was the first comic I collected before I knew what collecting was.
It had dinosaurs... and dinosaurs were of course the bomb!

If this series promises to emulate it... I am IN!

I'll check it out for an issue or two, but I'm not holding high expectations or anything.  If it retains the flavor and quality of the Gold Key comics I grew up with, I might read it on a regular basis. I was a loyal reader of the original series, and I can't help myself...I have to check it out.  Just hope it's close to the originals in storyline.

Amen, Brother! Nothing is worse than a company "improving" a classic comic series. As an avid "Turok" fan, I will also check out the first few issues- thanks for letting us know about  it. Cheers, Bowers

I have quite a few original Turoks. Have any of you seen the animated DVD? Pretty violent

 Did not know the movie existed untill your post narfstar, just tracked it down online.  Pretty wicked and worth watching, but I still like the Gold Key comics better.  :)
