Except in the comic, the Dinosaur looks way different, which means perhaps the two mediums were produced simultaneously and Buscema never got to use still photos for reference !Runs.with.Feralshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15633149475126315592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028911836649669351.post-82829154057373125182010-08-14T20:50:13.273-04:002010-08-14T20:50:13.273-04:00Prof.: Agree about art and storytelling - both so ...Prof.: Agree about art and storytelling - both so strong here. The Buscema art - well - it's just so great, but the Newman script is such a rip-snorter! <br /><br />Gary: I wish I had seen this before Conan! I have begun collecting all the other Buscema Dell/Four Color tie-ins. I bet you already have them, you dog! ;-) <br /><br />Lysdexicuss: I remember seeing this film, but it was so many years ago. The Four Color tie-ins were usually extremely faithful to source material, so I am guessing there was a dinosaur, but not sure. I got so nostalgic, though, I may have to order the Steve Reeves Collection from Amazon and find out! <br /><br />Thanks, gentlemen, for commenting!Mykal Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028911836649669351.post-67246635815107650972010-08-14T19:31:52.408-04:002010-08-14T19:31:52.408-04:00Nice !

Always loved the original Steve Reeves movie and all the campy sequels (most with other actors). Did he reall fight a Dinosaur in that movie ? I have no recollection of this.
