Man, that’s just a gorgeous cover. You might want to skip the plot description, though. It fails to enhance the majesty of the art.

I have to get this one in first, though: “Those dammed Beaver Men!” See what I did there?

Is this all happening under water? I mean “beaver men” and what look like bubbles coming out of many of their mouths. As to why a carnivorous sauropod is hanging out at the bottom of some body of water … well that’s just one of the many mysteries of this paining.

I remember this issue. Basically, the Beaver Men live like beavers, so their village is actually floating on the surface of a lake. They also looked a little too much like Asian caricatures to be comfortable. The scene on the cover never happens, Turok and Andar only swim on the surface and never try to use a bow underwater. At the end the Beaver Men, with Turok’s help, slip a noose around the Apatasaurus’ neck and drown it. Probably not possible, but way more plausible than everyone playing Aquaman like on the cover.

Beaver-men and giant honkers…

Oh dear…

The only thing worse than a carnivorous Apatasaurus is a Vegan T-Rex.

Turok, don’t you think you’re being a little bit hard on the Beaver Men?

I think it just wants to eat the thach roofs off their homes.

Oh that’s lovely. Another one I’d not seen before!
