Topps Comics – Jurassic Park: Raptor

With the success of the first film and the new found “Jurassic Mania” in the early 90s, Topps Comics created a follow-up series called “Raptor.” This series begins where the first film left off and it involves Grant and Ellie. Eventually it spawned into two sequel series, “Raptors Attack” and “Raptors Hijack” which brought Malcolm into the fold along with a revived Robert Muldoon as they hunted through the Amazon searching for the Raptors that were abducted by a hunter known as George Lawala. Later, Jurassic Park: Raptor was republished in the ten issue series known as “Jurassic Park: Adventures”. This set was comprised of Raptor, Raptors Attack, and Raptors Hijack.
