Jurassic Park #5, 2010
The first series of Jurassic Park comics in nearly 15 years is, unfortunately, nothing to write home about. Or write about here, for that matter. Neither the writing the art (especially) the art were up to snuff of the other licensed books we published at IDW. The less said, the better.
But… the covers were pretty terrific. Frank Miller, Bernie Wrightson and many others contributed to those covers. Included in the group is this one, wonderfully executed by the terrifically talented — and often criminally underrated — Tom Yeates.
Tom channels some Valley of Gwangi with his cowboys vs. dinosaurs scene depicted here.
If you’re not familiar with this film, give it a try. It’s not like we all don’t have a bit of extra time on our hands these days, unfortunately. Might as well dive into classic dinosaur films.
As Ray Bradbury had said, who doesn’t like dinosaurs?
Or great dinosaur art for that matter.
