Set Description
I can still remember the excitement I felt when I found out that Valiant was beginning to resurrect the old Dell/Gold Key characters I'd loved reading when I was a kid (from hand me down books from my dad). Turok had been my favorite, and I found Valiant's reimagination quite good - and also brought a sense of 'closure' as I'd always wondered what kind of stories Turok & Andar would have, had they managed to find a way out of the Lost Valley!
While the storylines got too convoluted in the final issues, am still sorry to have seen this series end with issue #47. Happy to see the occasional revival (e.g. Valiant/Acclaim in 1998 and more recently Dark Horse in 2010), and hope to see a high quality long running series in the future!
About the series (excerpts taken from Wikipedia):
When the previous Dell/Gold Key character appeared in Valiant Comics, the concept and setting were altered. Turok and Andar were now 18th century Native Americans. The isolated valley became The Lost Lands - a land where Demons, Dinosaurs and Aliens flourished and where "Time has no meaning". A cosmic anomaly caused time in The Lost Lands to move in a self-contained loop (which meant that while millions of years passed outside of it, inside it, time barely moved at all). Unity, a line-wide Valiant Comics crossover, altered the concept even further. The crossover's main villain, a psychotic, super-powered being known as Mothergod used the Lost Land as the base of operations. She outfitted Dinosaurs with intelligence-boosting implants, turning them into "bionisaurs". In the aftermath of the final battle between Mothergod and Valiant Universe heroes, the Lost Lands began to disappear. Turok and Andar wound up tossed into a post-apocalyptic future Earth. Unfortunately for Turok and Andar, a group of bionisaurs made it to Earth along with them. Since then, they became ruthless hunters; also trying to contend with the Demons and Aliens that exist in the future world; as well as various Lovecraftian abominations and high-tech future warriors. Mothergod had seized power in this horrific future; and, with the help of The Campaigner, The Longhunter, Thunder (A biomechanical Tyrannosaur) and Mantid (A 30-foot robot praying mantis), had begun to rebuild her empire and attempt to finally hunt down and kill Turok and Andar.
Valiant published a total of 53 issues before Acclaim purchased them, including Turok: Dinosaur Hunter #0-47, Original Turok, Son of Stone #1 & 2, Turok Dinosaur Hunter Yearbook in 1994, and the two-issue mini-series Turok the Hunted in 1996.
