Comic: Turok

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Turok - The Acclaim years (or how to take a popular character and destroy his audience)

When Acclaim took over Valiant they cancelled all the titles and started again. In doing so they got rid of the cohesive universe and alter characters to fit both their video games and their perceived "younger" audience. (For example Ninjack went from Ninja to kid fighting video game monsters). Suddenly the Turok of Gold Key and Valiant was ret-conned to be one of a number of Turoks who is replaced by his Grandson... (and hilarity ensues...)

Comic: Turok - dinosaur hunter

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
When Valiant Comics started they licensed 3 characters published by Western Publishing. Doctor Solar, Magnus and Turok. Before spending the first couple of years publishing unsuccessful Nintendo and WWF books and basically spending all their capital. Finally with cash running out the decided to do something with the characters they had originally licensed.

Comic: Turok (Dell)

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
wiki info: Turok
is a fictional American comic book character initially in comics from Western Publishing published through licensee Dell Comics. He first appeared in Four Color Comics #596 (October/November 1954), then graduated to his own title, Turok, Son of Stone.

The original comic was illustrated by Rex Maxon. The writer-creator credit for the characters of Turok and Andar is disputed, with historians citing Matthew H. Murphy, Gaylord Du Bois and Paul S. Newman as the feature's earliest writers.

The Western Publishing version of Turok was a pre-Columbian Native American who, along with his brother Andar, became trapped in an isolated valley populated by dinosaurs, which they refer to by their descriptive characteristics (Allosaurs are called "Runners", Pterosaurs are called "Flyers", Parasaurolophus are "Honkers", etc). The Du Bois stories involve Turok and Andar seeking a way out. Du Bois was influenced by his visits to Carlsbad Caverns New Mexico and developed the "Lost Valley" from his visits to the area.[citation needed]

After two appearances in "Four Color" #596 and #656, the title ran 27 issues (#3-29) from publisher Dell Comics (1956-62); then issues #30-125 (1962-80) from Gold Key Comics; and finally issues #126-130 (1981-82) back under the Whitman Comics imprint.

The first Turok one-shot (Four Color #596) was originally written by Du Bois as a "Young Hawk" story. "Young Hawk" was an earlier Native American comic book feature Du Bois created, which appeared in Dell's The Lone Ranger comic-book series.

As late as issue #8 of Turok, Du Bois's last scripts for the series, when the artists had long since established Turok as an adult, Du Bois continued to introduce the two Turok stories in that issue (as he had in previous issues) by describing Turok and Andar as "youths," more befitting Young Hawk than Turok (though Andar was depicted as a youth). The first story in that issue begins, "Turok and Andar, Indian youths, have found their way into a strange network of deep canyons in the Carlsbad area, where ancient forms of life still exist...They have found no way to get out." The second Turok story in that issue begins, "Trapped in a deep canyon in the Carlsbad area of New Mexico, Turok and Andar, two Indian youths, have met ancient forms of life which have disaIn Du Bois' last Turok story (issue #8, "Turok Seeks the Trail to Freedom", in which Turok encounters a herd of horses, which he calls "slim-legged creatures," having no word for them, as the horse had not yet been introduced to the Americas by the Spanish), Turok scales the cliffs, and escapes the Lost Valley. He is out, but he returns for Andar, who was wounded. Then an avalanche permanently seals the way out, and the series begins anew. Paul S. Newman wrote the Turok stories afterward.
