Posted on April 27, 2021 by EHT Comics

In 1994 Topps Comics began running their own continuation of Xenozoic Tales also under the title Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. The series only ran for one year in which they released nine issues. The stories were designed to complement the original series taking place between in the midpoint of the story “Lords of the Earth” in Xenozoic Tales #10 right after Wilhelmina Scharnhorst is elected governor but before Jack has been driven into exile. In the original story that moment lasts for only a few minutes, but Topps Comics sought the permission of Mark Schultz to turn it into a “moment that stretches”. While Mark Schultz did not write or draw any of the comics released by Topps he was consulted on some of the story arcs to make sure they kept as true to his vision as possible.

The series ran three main story arcs over the course of nine issues before “going on hiatus” right before the release of Xenozoic Tales issue 13. A fourth storyline titled Hammer of the Gods was in the works, being drawn by David Roach, however it was never released.
