Seven Decades of Dinosaur Comics: The 1950s

The 1950s gave us two big companies with dino covers. First it was ACG’s Adventures Into the Unknown and Forbidden Worlds, most often drawn by Ogden Whitney. Later Dell created Turok, Son of Stone that featured dinos on almost all their covers. Mo Gollub’s paintings define the dinosaurs of this decade.
