Dino Babies in Space - Volume One

What if that asteroid was not the end of dinosaurs as we know it? What if the dinosaur species never actually went extinct? What if, in the deep recesses of a secret government facility, a group of renegade dino scientists kidnapped four baby dinosaurs, Brik, Luna, Chonk, and Yo-Yo, to journey through the farthest reaches of space as a last-ditch effort to find a new dino homeworld? The following pages of my original graphic novel, the true* story of what happened all those millions of years ago is finally revealed.

All 150 pages were written, drawn, colored, and self-published by Matt Bolinger. Available now at DINOBABYSHOP.COM
