RICHARD CORBEN RIP IN TIME COMIC BOOKS
For fans of RICHARD CORBEN's unique style of extreme Fantasy and Horror. A RARE and VINTAGE Underground Comic Book with lavish artwork.
The Time Travel Dinosaur series illustrated by talented Underground Comix Artist Richard Corben. Written by BRUCE JONES, best known for his work on Creepy, Eerie, The Incredible Hulk and Alien Worlds.
This series has everything you look for in Corbin stories, especially in his collaborations with Bruce Jones. There's great adventure; this time, with dinosaurs. There are the larger-than-life characters, each driven by a different agenda, and there's the psycho killer hunting for Our Hero. There's a dirty side to just about every character. There are the male characters with mighty muscles and females with mighty busts.
Jones and Corben weave their talents together to present this story in an almost cinematic fashion - the scene/time changes were particularly impressive.
Local thug Sid Resnick has it good. He has forty-two bullets and LAPD sergeant Rip Scully’s fiancée Maggie as an unwilling companion. On the other hand, Scully ain’t got it so good. He’s stuck with Resnick’s tough-as-nails woman Darlene as his unlikely partner and only four bullets. Under normal circumstances, one might believe the bad guy has the edge but this ain’t normal circumstances and this ain’t Los Angeles. They’ve been caught in a time-travel experiment gone horribly wrong and transported to the prehistoric past. Separated and lost in time each pair must contend with animal instincts, hunger and sexual tension. Whether they like it or not, each other’s help will be needed to survive until the arrival of a rescue party. Then again, someone’s idea of a rescue party might be someone’s embodiment of an executioner.
RICHARD CORBEN (b. 1940) is one of the best-known fantasy artists in the world. In 1970 he self-published FANTAGOR, a science fiction/horror comic, and later worked on Underground comix such as SLOW DEATH. In the early '70s he drew many stories for the Warren line (CREEPY, EERIE, VAMPIRELLA), and finally came Métal Hurlant, the French magazine released in America as HEAVY METAL, for whom Corben did many memorable stories.
