In their very first adventure, "The World Below," Turok and Andar are outside of Lost Valley hunting during a drought. They see a cloud rising from the plains, and realize that it's actually millions of bats flying out of a cave. They decide to enter the cave and look for water. When they finally emerge, they find themselves in a huge sunken valley with strange prehistoric creatures. In the second adventure, "The Terrible Ones," the two lost Indians see even more horrible monsters, and wonder how they can survive in such a savage place. Then, they find a tribe of primitive men, and while watching in hiding, they see them paralyze fish in a river using the roots of a strange plant. Taking some of the plants, they make a sticky paste out of the roots and create their first poison arrows. Now, armed more suitably in the brutal land, they befriend the cave tribe, and decide to teach them how to use bow and arrows. (psychosaurus.com)
The Holy Grail first issue for the Turok completist. The very first time I actually got to read this story in full (along with the other earlier issues) was when Dark Horse released its hardcover collection! Got this one slabbed from Milehigh Online (took me a while to decide to buy, as I was waiting for an affordable higher grade copy to come out and still am), Jan 2011. Recently, I've seen the highest graded copy of this (9.4) pop up in Ebay, offered by A-1 Comics (a great seller by the way from whom I was able to get non-Turok slabs in the past). Needless to say, it looked absolutely stunning! Being offered for nearly $8K though which is way above my budget, am still hoping this price comes down in the future.

Four Color 656 Universal

Turok's second appearance, in FOUR COLOR COMICS #656, was an attempt by DELL to see if Turok would be popular enough to deserve his own comic. Like the first book, this one is pure Turok from cover to cover, with no advertisements and only "A Pledge to Parents" on the inside front cover. Even the inside and outside back cover are part of the comic art. The first story is "The Mystery Of The Mountain," in which Turok and Andar are teaching their cavemen friends to use bows and arrows. At night, the man on sentry duty is attacked and disappears. Turok is determined to find out what is attacking the sentries and stop it. In the second story, "The Missing Hunters," the lost Indian braves meet a new tribe, whose hunters have all disappeared. Along with a young woman, they go off to hunt for the tribe, and unwittingly discover what happened to the men of the tribe.

Turok and Andar cross a river looking for an exit from Lost Valley, and Turok is abducted tree dwelling primitives, who are the "Terror In The Trees." Andar must find a way to rescue Turok before they decide to kill him. Then, the Indian youths observe a tribe of cave men who capture a flesh eater in a net and put it in "The Pit Trap." Turok and Andar help prisoners of the cave tribe to escape, only to become prisoners themselves, and find themselves thrown into the pit.

Turok and Andar fight off a hostile cave tribe in "The Outsiders". In order to learn their secrets of fire and bows and arrows, the tribe abducts Andar and threatens to throw him into a pit full of honkers. In "The Stone Builders", the lost Indians are captured and forced into slavery to build a stone monument. The condition of the other slaves makes it clear that they must either escape or die as slaves (psychosaurus.com)
