• Turok, Sone of Stone first appeared in Dell Comics Four Color Comics in December 1954. It was the the story of Turok and Andar two ( some reference says pre-Colombian and others say mid 18oo Kiawa native Americans) who become trapped in a sunken valley in New Mexico, surrounded by unscalable walls, where dinosaurs and tribes of cave people still existed. The opening panel from their first story, The World Below, reads "...desert north of the Rio Grande, before the coming of white men...." The characters spent more than a quarter of a century trying to escape this lost valley in this comic book series which ran until issue 130 in 1982.
• The cover to Turok Son of Stone # 58 is one of my all time favorite comic book covers. It has a space ships, dinosaur, robots and American Indians with bows and arrows. What's not to love? the name that I have heard associated with the painted covers that Golden Key used is Moe Gollub.
• The original artist on Turok was Rex Mason , one of the artists who worked on the Tarzan newspaper strip: but most fans would associate the work of Italian born artist Alberto Giolitti with the series. Giolitti produced the art on Turok Son of Stone from 1956 (?) until the series ended in 1982. The scan is of the original art for a page from issue 106.
