Was "Dinosaur" the name or nickname of someone? Or the name of, well, a dinosaur? (Dinosaur the dinosaur?)<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-41953968693965217572013-05-24T14:46:17.680+01:002013-05-24T14:46:17.680+01:00The only issue I own is no. 5 with the Van Vogt &q...The only issue I own is no. 5 with the Van Vogt "big cat" story but I remember a lot of the others from reprints in Planet Of The Apes. I remember being depressed by the ending of He That Hath Wings and finding Killdozer quite disturbing at the time. I was very young!<br /><br />I nearly bought the second Sinbad issue back in the day but bought an issue of X-Men ( with some ropey reprint ) instead...<br />Simon B https://www.blogger.com/profile/07719757386457800087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-66930379179846869272013-05-24T09:17:21.648+01:002013-05-24T09:17:21.648+01:00Thanks for the info, Anon.Thanks for the info, Anon.Steve W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191442559702617745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-9394741115902353442013-05-23T22:01:31.027+01:002013-05-23T22:01:31.027+01:00"A Gun for Dinosaur" looked like it migh..."A Gun for Dinosaur" looked like it might be based on Ray Bradbury's "A Sound of Thunder," so I thought the ending might be a version of the grandfather paradox: if you go back in time and accidentally step on an insect, it will change history and ruin the present time. But it turns out it was based on a story by L. Sprague deCamp, with two morals. One was apparently that you can't be in two places at once, so if you travel in time and meet yourself, you disintegrate or something. The other was a rule for hunting and/or combat: use a big enough gun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-58722134255500168752013-05-21T22:29:06.453+01:002013-05-21T22:29:06.453+01:00Love those Sinbads—grew up with them.Love those Sinbads—grew up with them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07382827974781689590noreply@blogger.com
