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 “Raptors Attack” (1994).

Story/Spoilers
In issue #1, “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. The 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 issue #2, “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 issue #3, “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 issue #4, “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.
