Indexer Notes
Script credit from Randall Scott's "Gaylord Du Bois's Account Books Sorted by Title." Indicative of the series' origin as an intended dinosaur valley one-shot of "Young Hawk" (the "Lone Ranger" comic book series' back-up feature about an American Indian youth, Young Hawk, and his companion, Little Buck), this story begins, "In a prehistoric canyon, Turok and Andar -- two Indian youths ..." The artists had long since established Turok as an adult. As to whether Du Bois knew Turok was being presented as an adult: Du Bois wrote the stories well in advance of their being published, and it was the practice to communicate with his editor, not the artist. Du Bois: "I have nothing to do with choosing the artist, as he is chosen by the Art Editor. The artist is free to use or not to use my instructions for each panel. Sometimes he changes the picture I described, to suit his own idea or that of the Art Editor." For all we know, Du Bois was writing the stories for Turok #7 about Turok and Andar as Young Hawk and Little Buck by other names, unaware of the artistic change of age that had taken place in the title character. Young Hawk was a boy. Turok was (in the illustrations depicting him) an adult. ~ D. Porta.

The raiders have amassed a war-party. T-Rex appears. A flash-flood wipes out the bridge, dinosaurs, and the war-party.
