Here’s another of Fred Himes’ great covers for Charlton Comics’ licenced version of Valley of the Dinosaurs.
Not much more to say than that. For the background, see this previous post. And now onto the main show. Colour and packaging by myself.
As published.
Scan of Himes’ original art from Heritage Auctions.
Trade dress removed and art made production ready.
The character guide used for the animated series.
New colour.
Re-created trade dress added.
If Charlton still existed, they might put together a trade paperback that looked like this.
If DC had published it, it might have looked like this.
With Hanna-Barbera now a Warner property, DC could publish a trade paperback that looks like this.
