The Lost World: Jurassic Park

(Topps, 1997)
™ and © 1997 Universal City Studios

No offense to the parties involved with the production of this four-issue limited series, but it makes about as much sense as the movie it adapts. Perhaps that’s high praise because it is extremely faithful. As they say, “Something has survived” on Isla Sorna, the island where the dinosaurs that populated Jurassic Park were created from genetic scratch. However, since the events of the first film and the first comic book adaptation, the dinosaurs—left to their own devices—have developed a complete ecological system. Jurassic Park creator John Hammond hopes to turn his fortunes around by sending an expedition to Isla Sorna to document what he calls a “living fossil record.” Discovering that his girlfriend is a part of this expedition sends mathematician Dr. Ian Malcolm back to the land of the big lizards (or birds, if you go with current thinking) and the adventure begins again!
