About this book
According to this utterly bonkers graphic novel, dinosaurs were not actually wiped out by a meteor strike millions of years ago.
Instead, they discovered space travel and left Earth to settle in the Jurassic Quadrant of the galaxy. An elite team of herbivores, known as Astrosaurs, patrol the galaxy to prevent hungry carnivores from attacking the vegetarians.
This book features three hilarious Astrosaur missions, each of which can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story.
Firstly, the Astrosaurs attempt to stop the Raptors from sabotaging the Great Dinosaur Games. In the second tale, they must safeguard the last Plateosaurus eggs in a bid to save the species from extinction. Finally, our heroes plunge into a perilous underwater expedition on planet Aqua Minor.
Sure to appeal to fans of Dog Man and Kitty Quest, these high-energy, chaotic tales are accompanied by vibrant comic-style artwork.
Author Steve Cole first introduced the Astrosaurs in a series of science-fiction novels that were originally published from 2005. Steve has now teamed up with his son Tobey and illustrator Alex Lopez to bring these larger-than-life characters to a brand new audience in a colourful graphic novel format.
