Chuck Wendig’s Turok is a 2017 reboot of the classic dinosaur hunter published by Dynamite Entertainment. Turok has been around since the 1950s in various forms, but the core idea has always been the same: a warrior who has to deal with dinosaurs. Wendig’s version updates the character while keeping what makes the premise fun.
The five-issue series ran alongside Wendig’s Magnus comic and The Sovereigns crossover event, all part of Dynamite’s effort to relaunch Gold Key Comics properties in a shared universe. Turok, Vol. 1 collects the full run in trade paperback format, while the individual issues (#2 through #5) are also available separately.
Wendig brings his genre-mixing instincts to the book, blending action, sci-fi, and horror in a way that fits his other work. Fans of his novels will recognize his tendency to push familiar concepts into darker territory.
