Thanks, Benjamin, and you asked about the Jurassic Park GN adaptation, which I read upon publication in comic books by Topps Comics. My copies are long gone, and so is the publisher, but publisher Topps was tops. Editor Jim Salicrup had a lot to do with the quality, as it seemed to me. Walt Simonson is always professional, often inspired, and his script was brought to life by artists including the great George Perez and the late, great Gil Kane. I thought the original Jurassic Park was great Crichton, the movie great Spielberg, and this a fine adaptation using the strengths of comics art and better print and color, state of the art for the time. Someone should really make a deal with Topps for republication and reprint series: maybe Dover? Maybe one of the up and coming new publishers? Marvel and DC seem so corporate in this moment, but, such reprints - especially the adaptions and licensed work - would require corporate licensing power.

I agree with much of what you say, Brent. There's a few scans of the original Topps comic issues out there too. There was also what seems to be a 2013 limited rerun of these Jurassic Park adaptations/continuations by Spotlight (ABDO publishing).
