Jurassic Park Comics UK

In 1993 a Jurassic Park comic was published in the UK by Dark Horse International to tie in with the release of the original movie. Reprinting the Topps comic strips from the US which began with an adaptation of the movie and continued with original stories set before and after the events of the film. Xenozoic Tales and Age of Reptiles were also included, making it more of an over all dinosaur comic rather than purely Jurassic Park. The comic lasted 16 issues, the last three of which being distributed by Manga Comics rather than Dark Horse.

In 1997, to tie with Lost World hitting the cinemas, a second Jurassic Park comic appeared on UK shelves published by Titan. Once again reprinting US Topps comic strips. This time a comic book adaptation of the Lost World film. This title only lasted four issues.
