Today's video comes as a request from a viewer named An-oh-pha-thalm (sorry for the
mangled pronunciation!).
He suggested that we profile a classic character that many people may not have heard of yet,
called Turok, which means Son of Stone.
Turok is a Native American warrior who, like Solar, Man of the Atom, who we profiled a
couple of months ago, has appeared in comics from several different publishing houses.
He and his friend Andar fall into a valley in which dinosaurs – and later, robot dinosaurs
– still exist.
It is a place where time has no meaning, and they must find a way to escape with their
lives.
Turok, first appeared in comic books published by Western Publishing, an imprint of Dell
Comics, in 1954.
Although it is unclear which individual writer created him, we do know that he made his first
appearance in episode number 596 of Four Color Comics.
In 1956, the company, combined with Gold Key Comics, gave him his own line of comics titled
Turok, Son of Stone.
The series ran all the way until 1982, after which the character was reimagined and appeared
in comics from many other publishers, like Valiant Comics, Dark Horse Comics, and Dynamite
Comics.
Turok's story begins when he and his friend Andar are walking near the Carlsbad Caverns
in New Mexico.
For history buffs, this is a bit of a quote-unquote "mistake," because Turok and Andar are
both Plains Indians from the Mandan tribe, which is located much farther to the East.
However they got to New Mexico, though, the important thing is that they discovered a
lost valley there, in which dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures still lived.
Inside this lost valley, Turok and Andar become trapped, and have to fight to survive against
the dinosaurs, which they call "honkers," as well as the cavemen who live there and
mean to do them harm.
In 1992, Valiant takes over the character of Turok, and reimagines him as a Kiowa warrior
from a tribe in the Dakotas.
This time, the lost valley is known as the "Lost Lands," and is more of a pocket
of time and space that can move in a self-contained loop.
Inside the pocket, time doesn't pass – to quote from the comic "time has no meaning"
there.
Like before, dinosaurs, cavemen, and other prehistoric creatures flourish in this place,
but this time, so do demons and aliens.
Eventually, Turok comes across a being called Mothergod, a female physicist transformed
by the same radiation that created Solar, Man of the Atom.
She is a woman who is driven mad by how imperfect the universe is.
In her quest to perfect all of these imprefections, she infiltrates the Lost Lands with an army
of futuristic robots.
Once inside, she begins to use her futuristic technology on the dinosaurs, which she turns
into "bionisaurs," bionic dinosaurs with superior intelligence.
Turok fights against the bionisaurs and Mothergod by forming an army of his own with the cavemen
who live in the Lost Lands, but it isn't until he is joined by X-O Manowar, Solar,
Shadowman, and some of Valiant's other most famous heroes that Mothergod is finally defeated.
In the aftermath of his epic battle, though, the Lost Lands pocket of time and space begins
to close.
Turok and Andar are able to escape before it is destroyed… but so are some of the
bionisaurs.
The group emerges from the Lost Lands into a post-apocalyptic world, in which Turok then
has to track down and destroy, not just the bionisaurs, but the demons and aliens that
now exist on Earth as well.
Although a lot of current comic book readers might be unfamiliar with Turok and his adventures,
he was actually an extremely popular character.
In fact, in 1996, issue number one of Turok's solo line, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, was the
6th bestselling comic book, bested only by five sequential issues of a Superman-related
comic from DC.
After his time at Valiant had passed, the Turok character went on to appear in different
forms in Acclaim Comics, Dark Horse Comics, and Dynamite Comics as well.
And even when he is finished there, he will surely appear again in the future, fighting
off dinosaurs and robots as the world changes around him.
