Jurassic Park is an American film series which also consists of novels, comics, and video games of people on a series of disastrous attempts to create a theme park of cloned dinosaurs. Michael Crichton’s novel, “Jurassic Park “, was brought to life in 1993 with Universal Studios film adaptation. It’s success has led to two sequels; The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III… as well as the Jurassic World film series.

From 1993 to 1997 Topps Comics published comic adaptations of Jurassic Park and The Lost World: Jurassic Park, as well as several tie-in series. Continuing the adventures begun in the screenplay by Michael Crichton and David Koepp… from the novel by Michael Crichton.

Jurassic Park scientists manage to clone dinosaur DNA found in amber, reproducing dinosaurs in the modern day. Then they make Jurassic Park an island where tourists could view dinosaurs in their native habitat, but the dinosaurs escaped, turning a theme park into a horror show. This series continues the story as Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler hear of reports of strange activities on Isla Nubar luring them back to the deadly dinosaur populated island.

Stories/Spoilers
In part #1, “Aftershocks!”, Jurassic Park scientists manage to clone dinosaur DNA found in amber, reproducing dinosaurs in the modern day. Then they make Jurassic Park an island where tourists could view dinosaurs in their native habitat, but the dinosaurs escaped, turning a theme park into a horror show.

This series continues the story of Jurassic Park, picking up a few days after the park was evacuated. The dinosaurs had begun to breed, and Doctors Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler went back to find the eggs of the raptors, the most vicious of the dinosaurs. Unfortunately, five young raptors had already hatched. Worse, an unknown group had hired a hunter to steal the live specimens for their own means…

Next in part #2, “Dark Cargo!”, As the first issue ended, The Hunter had killed the mother Raptor, and was transporting Alan, Ellie, and the five young Raptors to his offshore ship and then to an awaiting cargo plane. Alan and Ellie soon find themselves caged next to the restless caged Raptors while being transported to their new owner in Peru. Alan tries to cry out to a ship’s crew member that, “the Raptors are trying to pick…” but is sedated before he can finish… “their cage lock.”  Upon awakening Alan and Ellie find their lives in peril once again as the now… escaped Raptors… savagely create carnage throughout the airborne aircraft. Expect a major cliff-hanger at the end … only to be picked up again in the next Jurassic Park mini-series, Raptors Attack

Next in part #3, “Rush!”, A big-game hunter named George Lawala stole five adolescent raptors from Jurassic Park, and bagged Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler, too. He smuggled them all off Isla Nublar in a tramp steamer, the transshipped them through Panama to a huge cargo plane for a planned rendezvous with his paymasters in Peru. But the five adolescent raptors got loose. A chilling, and claustrophobic battle in the plane’s cargo hold left Lawala and the pilot dead, two of the raptors dead and one severely wounded — and Grant and Ellie in the plane’s cockpit, trying to stay in the air… but the plane goes down in the South American jungle where they are captured by a maniacal crime lord who has his own ideas about the remaining raptors.

Next in part #4, “Animals / Men”, Drs. Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler, and three nearly full grow raptors are in the clutches of the Columbian crime lord, Rafael, who has decided to train the two healthy raptors to attack his enemies. He forces Grant and Sattler to treat the animals when his training becomes too brutal. The third raptor is recuperating from wounds suffered earlier and is already being treated by Sattler. After weeks of shock treatments, the attack raptors begin to obey Rafael’s commands. But maybe — just maybe — it’s not going to be quite that simple. Rafael Santos unleashes “his” raptors in a Columbian town… but they escaped.

Next in part #5, “Animals / Gods!”, While causing great chaos in a Columbian town, two raptors make their escape. They ran back to Rafael’s hidden compound and freed their sister — then came upon Alan and Ellie. But the freed sister raptor remembered that Ellie had nursed her back to health and kept the other two from attacking the Americans. However, Rafael picked that moment to get back to his compound, and all three raptors remembered how badly he’d treated them. Within seconds, Rafael was dead — and the raptors were gone into the trackless jungle. Roaming free in the jungle, the raptors were brought to their knees by a virus, and only the dedicated work by a tribe of jungle Indians who believed them to be gods kept them alive. Ultimately it did not end well for the Indians.

Next in part #6, “Gods / Men!”, In the exciting conclusion, Grant and Sattler are joined by Ian Malcom and Robert Muldoon, for a safari to bring back the loosed raptors. But when Muldoon learns that the raptors killed his blood brother, the question became, would they bring ’em back alive… or dead? Although there is not a “major cliff-hanger” at the end … the story does continue where it left off in the next Topps Jurassic Park mini-series, Raptors Hijack (1994).

Next in part #7, “The Wild!”, In the Amazon rain forest, Robert Muldoon led a safari consisting of Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, Ian Malcolm, and several Indians from the final outpost after the three remaining raptors. He also led Alan and Ellie to fear he would kill the raptors rather than capture them. But once they caught up to them, it was Alan who had to kill one of the raptors — the female known as Betty — to save Ellie’s life. The two remaining raptors, Alf and Celia, came to realize, if only dimly, that if they died too, there would be no more raptors, so they made their escape. But there is no escape for them, anymore… The two remaining raptors were on their last legs, hunted through the Amazon rain forest by an implacable Robert Muldoon. They run across a gorilla (though there should be no gorillas in South America, but how would they know?) That gorilla hated them on first sight — unaware that all three were being watched through binoculars by a mysterious old woman. When the raptors escaped the gorilla, she followed them, and observed their movements… their body language. Muldoon, with Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, and Ian Malcolm, helicopter to a nearby location and started to hike in after the raptors — unaware that the old woman had finally stepped forward. And before the raptors’ startled eyes, she repeated the signs she’d seen them make — For “Peace”… and “Trust”…

Next in part #8, “Civilization!”, The two remaining raptors, Alf and Celia, were confronted by the world’s expert on animal communications, Dr. LaDonna Belvedere! She had learned enough of their body language to convince them they could stop their endless flight from Robert Muldoon, Alan Grant Ellie Sattler, and Ian Malcolm. And Celia, at least, was willing to be convinced — because Celia is soon to lay eggs. Dr. Belvedere works for BIOSYN, the mortal business enemy of INGEN, the company which originally created the dinosaurs for Jurassic Park. BIOSYN is harrying INGEN at every turn, and didn’t miss its chance to go after Muldoon, Grant, Sattler and Malcolm. BIOSYN’s helicopter attacked the foursome in the jungle but lost that battle to Muldoon’s jungle skill. However, Muldoon’s radio was shattered, and Malcolm was beginning to succumb to a fever. And right about then, Grant, and Sattler’s old enemy, Dr. Jeremiah Fischer, took charge of BIOSYN encampment…

Next in part #9, “Fever!”, The two raptors, Alf and Celia, have felt the urge to carry on their species, and sought a place to hole up for a while. That place was provided by the BIOSYN Corporation, mortal enemy INGEN, the creators of Jurassic Park. BIOSYN, in the person of Dr. Jeremiah Fischer, made certain that INGEN’s Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, Ian Malcolm, and Robert Muldoon couldn’t reach the raptors. In fact, Alan and Robert were last seen leaping from a cliff to avoid a helicopter attack, and Ian had a bad fever, which was being nursed by Ellie in an Indian village. But it isn’t over till the fat raptor sings…

Finally in part #10, “Trapped!”, In the exciting conclusion, Celia’s eggs hatch and the raptor named Alf is no longer the only surviving male raptor. The only problem, Alf, Celia and all the young raptors have been recaptured by Dr. Jeremiah Fischer and Dr. LaDonna Belvedere! Looks like the BIOSYN Corporation now has its own Jurassic Park. Meanwhile, Alan Grant and Robert Muldoon make their way through the jungle trying to reunite with Ellie Sattler and Ian Malcolm after having had to leap from a cliff to avoid a helicopter attack. Elsewhere, Ellie Sattler and Ian Malcolm reach the crashed helicopter sight and discover a huge wall… like the kind they had at Jurassic Park. But wouldn’t you know that the raptors know how to dig… underneath walls. With the raptors free once again, let the bloody carnage begin anew.
