| Turok: Dinosaur Hunter Volume 1, Issue #2 Valiant Comics |
One person's trash is the next person's treasure.
It pays to dig deep (in the bins, not your wallet!).
Had no idea that Turok was a comic book before it became a video game... Stumbled upon this issue from 1993.
Was even more surprised to learn that the character dates back to 1954!
Appearing in a number comics by various publishers, long before he sprang to life to slaughter Allosaureses on Nintendo 64 in Turok: Dinosaur Hunter (1997).
Speculating that the success of the Jurassic Park film (1993) also contributed to the spiking interest of dinosaurs in pop culture - An event that may have ultimately caused Turok to emerge in video game form.
Almost bought Turok 2: Seeds of Evil (1998).
Was on my "short list" of games to get.
So many N64 titles coming out around that time, there was no way an honest person could buy them all...
He'll Be Back...
Reverse side of the book has advertisements for Super Nintendo games Alien 3 and Terminator 2: Judgement Day.

Definitely a good thing that GoldenEye eluded the clutches of being developed for the SNES, appearing on the N64 instead.
