Think the dinosaurs became extinct after an asteroid hit Earth 65 million years ago? You couldn't be more wrong.

Saddle up, check your six-shooters and prepare for life in the Cretaceous as Flesh: The Dino Files collects together 35 years of one of the most popular series in the history of legendary comic book 2000 AD!

By the 23rd Century, man has drained the planet's resources bare, but thanks to time-travel technology Trans-Time Corporation sends rangers back to the days when dinosaurs ruled the Earth. These latter day cowboys round up vast herds of giant reptiles – all destined for the plates of a hungry future!

But no creature fancies being served up as steaks, and packs of ferocious dinosaurs soon put a halt to Trans-Time– with everything from terrifying T-Rexs to chilling cybosaurs in all-out dino action!

For the first time, Flesh: The Dino Files collects the original Flesh story, which started in the very first issue of 2000 AD in 1977, and its recent sequel, Texas. This brand new collection features stunning black and white artwork from industry legends such as Boix, Ramon Sola and Massimo Belardinelli with newcomer James McKay.

Fans have long clamoured for a collection, bringing the vision of writer Pat Mills (Marshall Law, Sláine the Horned God) to a new generation – Flesh is the classic 65 million years in the making!

I wish I could time travel.  Three weeks into the future. Fingers crossed that there's no misprints this time, we get a Mills Bomb intro, and that there's some McKay sketchbook in there somewhere...

[Colin YNWA]

Very cool. But now I'm really curious about what's included? The page count for the last Flesh trade which included books 1 and 2 and the recent Ramon Sola strip came to 176 pages, the recent Flesh run added 61 pages making 237 leaving 35 odd pages going begging... I wonder the strips from the annual?

Fans have long clamoured for a collection

And that's why they bought it when it was released two years ago.

Or rather they opened it, saw the duplicated page, and said "Hmmm, I'll think I'll wait for the next edition. Hey, maybe that one will have a cowgirl with a frilly bra!"

HELL YEAH! She was HATZ!
Now why didn't that shut Carnosaur movie have her in?

[Hoagy]

Great timing. Kill the post birthday blues by ordering a feast of beast soup. Grumble. I'm hungry! When's tea ready!

[TordelBack]

HELL YEAH! She was HATZ!

Just the one, actually.  Stetson, wasn't it?

I haven't got my paws on it just yet, but from what I saw there are McKay sketchs in the back if I'm right, along with a colour strip printed on the inside back cover.
