Jurassic Park Comics UK


 Dark Horse International published 16 issues of Jurassic Park in the early 90s, reprinting Topps comics movie adaptation, prequel and sequel stories. Much like their Alien and Terminator comics which would feature supporting strips from relevant franchises such as Predator for Alien and Robocop for Terminator, Dark Horse International included Xenozoic Tales and Age of Reptiles in their Jurassic Park comic.

After 13 issues however, the title rights changed to Manga who sold the comic direct to consumers rather than it appearing in newsagents. This only lasted three issues and the comic was cancelled at issue 16. The comic rights then changed hands to Titan Publishing who also acquired the rights to Alien and Terminator from Dark Horse International.

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.
