| | Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Turok, Son of Stone |
 | | The most famous of these Dell Comics originals was Pogo, but the one that lasted longest as a Dell title was Turok, Son of Stone. |
 | | A decade later, Valiant Comics, then run by Jim Shooter, whose credits range from writing The Legion of Super Heroes at age 13, to a highly controversial stint as Marvel Comics editor-in-chief, licensed Turok from Western Printing. |
 | | But Valiant, not content with the premise that had sustained the comic for 28 years, moved the lost valley from an inadequately-explored part of North America's past (probably the Dakota badlands) to an alien dimension, and changed the dinosaurs from mere dangerous animals to intelligent "bionosaurs", bent on malice. |
