The Official continuation of the Hit Movie… Jurassic Park!Jurassic Park is an American film series which also consists of novels, comics, and video games 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 as led to three sequels; The Lost World: Jurassic Park: Jurassic Park III and Jurassic World.

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 of Jurassic Park from the Topps comics mini-series, Jurassic Park “Raptor” (1993).

Story/Spoilers
In issue #1, “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 issue #2, “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 issue #3, “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.

Finally in issue #4, “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).
