Trained Raptors used by police against punks

[foxilized]

In the future, when they find the d**n right mosquito at last, police will clone Raptors and will traine them as dogs to scare the crazy cyberpunk gangs that will try to control the cities.



Of course, soon police in horror will realize they have been playing god and that is something you shouldn't do, when Raptors get loose and start massacrating polices, wacko punks and innocent dumbed-by-legal-drugs civilians without mercy.

Only one man, a drunken veteran who loose his genitals in the 3rd world war and now wears a magnum instead of his old pal between the legs, has the bal.... well, not really the balls but... has the guts to confront the psycho raptors and bring the fascist peace again to this crappy future world!!!!!!!

His name: PRETTY PISTOL!

Soon in your cinemas.

No.

Ah, Dinosaurs! magazine again. I remember they also had a Chasmosaurus towing a plough. As you do.

I remember they had a little boxout with the question "Could these dinosaurs really be trained to do this if they were still alive?" The answer was effectively "Probably not, we're just having a bit of fun!"

Sorry, figure of speech. English is designed to trip up foreigners like that. "As you do" would more accurately be "as one does", and is a sarcastic expression implying that something ridiculous is routine. Sarcastically.

foxilized, could you tell ys the title, publisher and ISBN of the book?, im sure thats one i had as a kid and would like to hunt down a new copy of it.

Well it wasn't a book, actually, but an encyclopedie of 11 tomes (I think) that were published in 1993 to take advantage on the JP fever. These drawings were in the last tome I think. If I'm not wrong it was published by "Planeta de Agostini" in Spain (though I dunno about other countries), and that "Planeta" is the very same company that some time ago also produced a series of dinosaur toys to be sold with another different encyclopedie about dinos.

The encyclopedie these drawings came from was simply called "DINOSAURS" and I still have it. I plan to sell it soon, I dunno If you could be somewhat interested because the text is in spanish.... I also have the gifts that came with the encyclopedie, a bunch of big dinosaur skeletons that glow in the dark and some other stuff...

In Britain we had a magazine that ran for 104 issues (the 104th being the index to the rest). The magazine was called DINOSAURS! (the exclamation mark being all important of course). Issue 1 came out at about the time your Spanish equivalent appeared. It came with various free gifts in the earlier part of its run; firstly, a glow-in-the-dark plastic tripod Tyrannosaurus skeleton (very much simplified of course; if you have ever seen those wooden slot-together things, it was exactly like that), then the skin to go on top of it (or to be built separately, although if you did that it wouldn't have teeth), and then a load of 'collectible cards' featuring various dinosaurs.

In spite of the name, DINOSAURS! ended up featuring a plethora of prehistoric beasts ranging from Anomalocaris to the wooly mammoth (the only animal not identified by its genus).

Who did publish it in Britain, Horridus?

Orbis Publishing.

Ah, good old Orbis. I have the cards, but am missing some of the magazines (=most, after somehow, inexplicably, I LOST them. The cards were collected later.).
