Knight, Willis O’Brien, Marcel Delgado, Ray Harryhausen, Jim Danforth, Frank Frazetta, Roy Krenkel, Steve Ditko, Russ Manning, FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND, Basil Gogos, fantasy, sci-fi, robots, robot fighters, robots that transform into dinosaurs and gorillas, BEAST WARS, robots and donuts, quality baked goods, aliens, barbarians, Halloween, masks, superheroes . . . the list goes on and on! If you’re familiar with these names that’s fantastic. But if you aren’t, then you’re in for a treat. And there is so much more to the dinoverse that I guarantee you haven’t seen.

We cover current and out of print picture books, wordless books board books, consumable books such as activity books and coloring books, oversize books, easy chapter books, children’s fiction, children’s graphic novels, non-fiction, fiction, art books, art instruction books, encyclopedias, comic books and more. We are not purists, so King Kong, Godzilla and Turok can take their place alongside a scholarly volume devoted to T-Rex.

In addition to book reviews, we cover movies; and feature interviews with writers, artists, publishers, actors, and other creatives; retrospectives; product reviews; giveaways and more.
