Seven Decades of Dinosaur Comics: 1976-1977

If you missed 1975…

The Disco Era was a second extinction event as some of the best of 1975 died off, with Kong the Untamed, Valley of the Dinosaurs, Korg 70,000 BC, Tor, Tragg and Skull the Slayer all vanishing. Only Turok would go on into the 1980s…

In 1977 DC would lose the Edgar Rice Burroughs franchise, partly due to the lack of sales in Europe for the new Kubert Tarzan (Yes, I know it’s hard to imagine but they were obsessed with Russ Manning.) There were other problems too. Here is the classic scene in Tarzan the Untamed when Tarzan finds Jane at last and saves here from a triceratops. Triceratops? What the heck is that thing?

On to the rest of the 1970s…
