Did You Really Think a Series Called The Lost World...
...wouldn't produce at least one chapter featuring...well, read on and find out...
Note: this is not a diplodocus, which looked more like a brontosaurus!
It's clearly a Tyrannosaurus Rex!
At this point in history,
The Lost World referred to a novel by Arthur Conan Doyle about his other famous character (besides
Sherlock Holmes),
Professor Challenger, discovering an isolated South American plateau where dinosaurs still existed!
It had already been adapted into a box office-smash hit silent film featuring stop-motion animation by Willis (King Kong) O'Brien, as well as a dramatic radio mini-series!
I'd be willing to bet that when new readers saw a blurb mentioning "Lost World" on the cover of Planet Comics, they thought the strip was an adaptation of the book (or movie)!
So the appearance of dinosaurs in this chapter from Fiction House's Planet Comics #41 (1946) was probably a tribute to those earlier works!
