Funny... I just remember Sam Glanzman (later an artist on the DC military
comics line) being the main artist of the Gold Key Turoks (and  his dino
illustrations were fine).





       Morris Gollub was the >cover< artist of the Dell Turoks begining (I 
think) with issue no.7 (see: http://psychosaurus.com/turok/turok007.htm). 
When Western Printing and Lithographing (Golden Books) bought out Turok, 
different artists were used under their Gold Key label. Gollub also did 
numerous Tarzan covers for Dell that had splendid action scenes with African 
animals AND dinosaurs. It's really unfortunate that so many of these 
marvelous artists slaved away in anonymity, especially Gollub, who apparently 
had an excellent understanding of dinosaur anatomy for those times and 
created, in my opinion, the greatest of all comic covers. I don't want to 
stray too far off-topic here, but if you can prove me wrong let me know 
off-list and I will gladly correct my statement. Dan Varner
