You were right, you said if your resolution was to not make 50k subs you would get 50k subs Congrats, you make great content and I am glad to have found your channel :)
I feel like the algorithms broken cuz everytime a channel like yours reaches a new milestone I have to resubscribe. Cuz i could've sworn I was already subscribed to the channel.
Alright I'm just gonna say it. Age of Reptiles is pretty much Primal, and it's amazing. Also love the T-rex vs mosasaur fight and how it ends, with both of them respecting each other. PLEASE TELL ME WHY THIS IS SO GOOD!!!! 🦖🦖🦖
Even the art styles look kinda similar. Not to mention that apparently Genndy and Ricardo tried to make an animated dinosaur film together in the past.
I find it interesting how the series got more paleontologically accurate over time. In Tribal Warfare, there is is this mix of dinosaurs from different eras and locations and the dinosaurs have shrink-wrapped scaly skin and pronated arms. (Some of the dromaeosaurs do have quills though.) The Hunt takes place in Late Jurassic Morrison Formation, but still suffers from shrink-wrapped scaly skin and pronated arms. The Journey takes place in late Cretaceous North America and the skin doesn't seem as shrink-wrapped and the arms are no longer pronated. Finally, Ancient Egyptians is the most accurate of all.
I love how the dinosaurs in Age of Reptiles had "Batman eyes" when they went into action, the pupils disappear to make them look more ferocious. Delgado is a great artist, very similar in style to William Stout.
sharks actually do smth similar in real life! they don't have eyelids so they roll their eyes back in their heads to protect them when they bite. i wonder if some dinosaurs or other prehistoric animals couldve actually done smth similar
The Tribal Warfare comic was also reprinted as a secondary story for the Jurassic Park comic magazine that was sold here in the UK, back in the day. I distinctly recall the fight between the Tyrannosaurs and Raptors in the rain being in one issue. In fact, I'm pretty sure that one was the last one of these Age of Reptiles strips to be reprinted in the Jurassic Park comic before being replaced with strips from Cadillacs and Dinosaurs.
10:10 I find it interesting that the author used an ichtyosaur in this part, considering that when people think of large marine apex predators from the Mesozoic, they usually think of pliosaurs or mosasaurs. This is somewhat realistic, since there were large ichtyosaurs that served as apex predators like Temnodontosaurus, though Temnodontosaurus was smaller and lived in deeper waters (I think). I don't know why, it just fascinates me.
This was amazing! I love the orca pattern on the mosasaur and I enjoy the story telling with no dialogue sometimes it's just nice to just enjoy the art
What strikes me is how vibrant and colorful the dinosaurs themselves are. And a little anthropomorphism is forgivable since this is a visual medium without any sorta narrator to give us an insight into the dinosaurs' thoughts Ala something like Paleo. Kinda reminds me of Dinosaur Revolution and how they had the dinosaurs emote to a degree.
Delgado style is brutal: Its simple but at the same time its really detailed! I hope he will release more, delgado showed in his blog and social medias the artwork of carnotaurus, therizinosaurus and deinocheirus. I love all delgado stories, but my least fave is the Hunt, due the style turned more cartoonish (compared to tribal warfare and later stories) and this became more a revenge story but too human for my taste, but not all is bad! I like the camo ceratos, the aerial fight between pterosaurs and the massive tsunami. Also its me or the world of these stories have a feeling of primal show? No dialogue, brutality, beauty in the world. BTW: If you love delgado works check his dracula book and Hyeroglyph comic!
A single comic book creator manages to create a more convincing story than the entire Jurassic world trilogy. Even the first two books had a better story than the movies.
I love the Age of Reptiles series and I really need to grab a physical copy of Ancient Egyptians because they’re so good. I also recommend looking up Delgado’s concept art for Disney’s Dinosaur because his artwork and concepts were beautiful!
A most wonderful breakdown on this acclaimed comic series Dino Diego! Been a long while since I last read Age of Reptiles, but this makes me want to go back and revisit it.
I loved these comics as a child. It is so cool to see them getting some attention, and now I need to go find this Ancient Egyptian one as that is something that completely flew over my head.
"this video sounds not be viewed as an alternative way to experience the books" Yeah that's where you're wrong, I would never have even thought about touching this product if it wasn't in this channel, so yes, this video IS an alternative to something I'll never consumer.
Oh yes the very long and awaited video! Damn this is longer than I thought it would be, these comics are extremely interesting and I didn't know you can actually still find these in the internet!
I started reading Ricardo Delgado's AOR Tribal Warfare when it hit the racks back in '92. I was instantly hooked. The storytelling without dialogue was unique in itself. But combined with his fantastic dinosaur illustrations, great pacing, furious action sequences, and gorgeous landscapes made the whole thing instantly addictive. I turned into a little kid again waiting for each new issue each month.
I'm curious, have you heard of Ted Rechlin? He's a visual artist whose done work with Rextooth Studios making some comic short stories about different animals, particularly dinosaurs. I feel that Rechlin, if not Rextooth, would make interesting subjects to talk about.
In the UK this was published as a back up strip in the Jurassic Park comic. Beautiful art work and pretty great story too for what it is. I'd love to see an animated movie adapting it.
Wolves and coyotes engage in tribal warfare like that though, with constant, even generational, back and forth conflict between individual packs of wolves and individual packs of coyotes.
Got the omnibus a few years back, by far my favorite graphic novel ever! The way it tells the lives of each animal makes theres characters, colors them and the enviroments its all so fantastic. The mosasaurus vs t-rex is one of the coolest battles ever too!
I remember on vacation I had to choose between getting a Spider-Man figure and an issue of this comic (the one with the Spinosaurus) I chose the Comic and still have it to this day.
Congratulations on your work on the Age of Reptiles comics my friend. To my opinion on that comic series is that is breathtaking, beautiful artwork and very good to me. Especially the Spinosaurus from Age of the Reptiles: Ancient Egyptians who is more than not just a samurai but a wondering ronin.
I absolutely love The Hunt! I read it so many times as a kid. I always loved the two-page spread showing off the basin at the bottom of the waterfall, where you get the scale of how small the protagonist Allosaurus is compared to the massive the herd of sauropods.
I really enjoyed the discussion of Delgado's Age of Reptiles, sort of The Land Before Time for adults. 'Ancient Egyptians' was the best of the series, focusing more on every day behavior. I especially liked the trope twist- you don't expect a sauropod to be the bad guy and the therapod to be the hero!
Got book 2 of The Journey (lost now) and it was the COOLEST SHIT in the book fair Super grateful you did this video, I had a hard time finding the rest of the books because I didn't pay attention to who made it once again THANK YOU!
Thank U! Almost forgot to finish my yearly comic read through, course Age of Reptiles isn't as much a read through as a gory/beautiful art book Darkhorse was such a great company, my dad is a Big Alien/Predator fan so from age 8 ('91) I got hooked then he got into the books I bought.
I loved Delgado's "Age of Reptiles" comics! I think I've got a full set, but it seems like every few years or so, I find out about one I've never heard of before. And you've just provided me with the two "shorts" I never knew about, before. And now I'm having a Hell of a time tracking them down. Anyone know which "Dark Horse Presents" I might be able to find them in? Amazon isn't being very helpful. I watched "Dinotasia," and thought that some of the humour in that struck me as very familiar -- especially the part where the mother Tarascosaurus(?) gets woken up by the smaller dinosaurs' yipping and seeks to shut them up -- and lo and behold, Ricardo Delgado was involved with that, too! If he decides to do another volume -- which would be amazing -- I hope it gets collected with the shorts.
@@Beedo_SookcoolUnderstandable. I like hard copy stuff too, but you can still use the links to check out what issues they're in, that way you know what you're looking for.
I have some deep memories of this series. I read the Turf War mini when I was 6 years old as it was packaged in the back of the UK's Jurassic Park comics and it left an impression with its vividness and expressive nature. Now decades later I'm retraining to be a paleoartist and its influence still grips me.
I remember discovering these stories a while ago and used the designs of the tyrannosaurus from the first story as an inspiration for my kaiju oc, Drahimorui.
@@Morrison-saber-tooth Yeah I’m pretty sure it got autocorrected… idk I wrote this comment a year ago. Otherwise I’m not to fussed about spelling you can look him up with that spelling and find him
Well, I for one appreciate you doing this video and the awesome coverage on the age of reptiles! I read the very first series when it first debuted many years ago and had no idea there have been so many other Tales since then! I will definitely try to get them when I can and thank you very much for opening me up to a beloved classic yet again!
A natural history of dinosaurs through comics would be a great addition to prehistoric-themed media, Age of Reptiles definitely showed that. Amazing video by the way, I'm expecting you to talk about Cadillacs and Dinosaurs franchise!
Ohh! Haven't heard of this one! ;D Can't wait~ I wish I knew lots more Paleo media to recommend, but alas, I'm a fan, but not as knowledgeable it seems! But Dino Crisis comes to mind!
Honestly I understand how he “hates” his early stories from his latest ones, cause it’s nice how his art and story moved along. But like the 2019 lion king, without facial expressions. It loses some charm but everyone has preferences. Just a thought also loved the video!
Not related to Age of Reptiled at all but i think the first dino media i experienced that wasnt something like Jurrasic Park or Disneys Dinosaur. was probably DinoRiders a saturday morning cartoon from the 80s i think, where humans from the far future time travel to prehistoric earth in order to escape an evil alien faction who has tracked them down of course follows them through to the past and then they continue their war on prehistoric earth with both sides domesticating diffrent Dinos. I havent watched the show since i was kid with acces to a laptop in like 3rd grade sp my memory of what happens is a bit fuzzy, but its a pretty standard good vs the forces of evil story with the Aliens motivation being nothing but muahahahaha we want to to conquer the universe or something like that. I would like to see you do video on that show one day sorry that this has no relevance to the topic of this video i just wanted to share a memory that poper back into my brain when you talked about how diffrent Dino Media can be in the video
So my dad introduced this to me when I was a small kid and he gave me that book finally as an adult. Impacted me a lot on how I viewed dinosaurs, still love them dearly to this day, still have that book.
That looks so amazing! Super good! As for the inspirations, they make sense for story telling, very popular, known cliches that have tons of space to work with.
Absolutely the dinosaurs are anthropomorphised, that said multiple animals like tigers for example do go out of their way to take revenge, still especially the raptors way of showing emotion is very human like, and some animals engaging in revenge doesn’t mean all do especially to that degree.
Age of reptiles is something that's on my to do list to read, I don't know if I'll love it as much as Raptor red, Primitive war, the First JP novel, or prehistoric planet or walking with dinosaurs witch are my favorite dinosaurs stories of all time, I'll have to buy it and read it first. Mark Witton has always credited it as his source of inspiration for when he was younger and his view of dinosaurs as just animals not monsters in paleoart.
It's really amazing how creative these stories are - even when they're more human-like (the first two were dinosaur gang wars) and when they tend to more documentary-like
Okay, I did NOT know there were more than two issues of Age Of Reptiles. I own Tribal Warfare and The Hunt, but I never knew about the rest of them until this video.
My favorite Issues of The Age of Reptiles is “Tribal Warfare”, “The Journey” & “Ancient Egypt”. But there’s just one little problem. I would’ve expected Age of Reptiles to be released on a Hardcover Issue. I like Hardcover & Library Binding Books better.
I’m the completionist you speak of, I did indeed have to find the Dark Horse Presents books to complete the set. I have them all now & I’m pretty happy about it lol I love collecting this kind of ish lol
It’s good that you’re talking about this. I have the omnibus of this and the sequel Ancient Egyptians. This is a brilliant graphic novel. Delgado is an awesome artist and one of my main inspirations!
I honestly want to check this out but $240 in US currency is unbelievable for a paperback copy. I know comics and graphic novels are expensive but woah. And that's just volume 1!
I remember reading age of reptiles: Tribal Warfare when I was a junior in high school two years ago and I loved it. Seriously though, someone needs to create a movie or a tv show based on these comics!
I still do agree he's an amazing paleo-artist, though he kind of left a bad-taste in my mouth due to me getting a rather heated argument with some of the people who commented on his post on the 2022 Pinocchio films. I wasn't arguing with Ricardo, I'm was more arguing with everyone else who commented on this who some also happened to be former Disney artists. He did warn me to knock it off twice saying "All right we get it, you made your point." But I'm that kind of person in an argument who says he's not done until he says he's done and seen as in the right. We ended up cutting ties with each other, and I was feeling really angry for the rest of the month.
Heres hoping you expand into the rest of the 90s dino comics, like Jurassic Park or Cadillacs & Dinosaurs. Very surprised you haven't covered Xenozoic Tales yet.
So tigers are know to hold a grudge and kill for it to. There is a lot of literature to back that up. Elephants too can hold a grudge and seek vengeance. Deinonychus was probably intelligent enough to do the same. It’s likely that tyrannosaurus also could. Both were likely surprisingly intelligent especially deinonychus.
Out of curiosity, have you heard of the Darbi Webtoon? Its a comic about a um....very. VERY. Foulmouthed T rex baby growing up. Has other extreme things but its a good read!
I have! I actually got pretty far into it a while back ago, just on my own time and kind of fell out of keeping up with it. Its definitely an intense comic, but also really funny.
I think it's nearly complete, if I remember correctly, so it might be worth a second visit. The artist has come so far and it shows in their art and storytelling
I had a graphic novel that had all four issues of Tribal Warfare and I kept going back to look at it again and again. All the dinosaurs do have names listed at the start of it. It's a bit hard to keep track of the raptors, but their patterns are all different and are kept consistent throughout the book. The leader of the Deinoychus, Dark Eye, isn't killed by the quilled one, Quetzel, but instead Quetzel kills a different raptor named One Claw, who I suppose was acting like a sycophant.
Funnily enough, some of the Delgado art reminds me of the Adult Swim cartoon 'Primal'. (EDIT: Damn, I should read the other entries. It looks like more than a few people made the same observation)
Dino Diego trying to hide the fact he’s the mastermind behind a secret government project to create human dinosaur crossbreeds, and his schedule’s fucked up because they’ve encountered so many failures but more recently, have had a breakthrough, and WILL be sending dinosaur men into battlefields
if you want something really interesting, look up March of the Mighty Ones. Early / mid 19970s British childrens comic strip involving two children trying to survive in a coutry over run by robot dinosaurs!
Definitely can say primal took some inspiration from age of reptiles,genndy tartokovsky stated that when he finished the story of spear and fang for possible future seasons of primal he would like to do an anthology of dinosaur stories Wich would be awesome
Do you think it's possible that a second printing of AGE OF REPTILES OMNIBUS VOLUME 1, this time including the missing stories in it, will be published in the future?

It’s good that you’re talking about this. I have the omnibus of this and the sequel Ancient Egyptians. This is a brilliant graphic novel. Delgado is an awesome artist and one of my main inspirations!
The artstyle is amazing.
1:07 Wonder if you know about some of his concept art shown for the Jurassic Park franchise (mostly the 3rd film)?
I honestly want to check this out but $240 in US currency is unbelievable for a paperback copy. I know comics and graphic novels are expensive but woah. And that's just volume 1!
I remember reading age of reptiles: Tribal Warfare when I was a junior in high school two years ago and I loved it. Seriously though, someone needs to create a movie or a tv show based on these comics!
It’s sorta like that snes game Primal Rage. Loved that game.
I still do agree he's an amazing paleo-artist, though he kind of left a bad-taste in my mouth due to me getting a rather heated argument with some of the people who commented on his post on the 2022 Pinocchio films. I wasn't arguing with Ricardo, I'm was more arguing with everyone else who commented on this who some also happened to be former Disney artists. He did warn me to knock it off twice saying "All right we get it, you made your point." But I'm that kind of person in an argument who says he's not done until he says he's done and seen as in the right. We ended up cutting ties with each other, and I was feeling really angry for the rest of the month.
Heres hoping you expand into the rest of the 90s dino comics, like Jurassic Park or Cadillacs & Dinosaurs.
Very surprised you haven't covered Xenozoic Tales yet.
A lot of people have suggested it. Maybe 2023 will be the year I cover it...
12:54 lol man it reminds me of owls and crows (or is it ravens?) it’s always on sight 😂
So tigers are know to hold a grudge and kill for it to. There is a lot of literature to back that up. Elephants too can hold a grudge and seek vengeance. Deinonychus was probably intelligent enough to do the same. It’s likely that tyrannosaurus also could. Both were likely surprisingly intelligent especially deinonychus.
Out of curiosity, have you heard of the Darbi Webtoon? Its a comic about a um....very. VERY. Foulmouthed T rex baby growing up. Has other extreme things but its a good read!
I have! I actually got pretty far into it a while back ago, just on my own time and kind of fell out of keeping up with it. Its definitely an intense comic, but also really funny.
I think it's nearly complete, if I remember correctly, so it might be worth a second visit. The artist has come so far and it shows in their art and storytelling
@@DinoDiego16 Oh it definitely gets crazier as time went on lol, thats really cool though!
@@TricksterJackal And, spoilers:
SINGING
0:16 Lost Eden! I used to play that game as a kid!
Im trying to get these comics for Christmas
I had a graphic novel that had all four issues of Tribal Warfare and I kept going back to look at it again and again.
All the dinosaurs do have names listed at the start of it. It's a bit hard to keep track of the raptors, but their patterns are all different and are kept consistent throughout the book. The leader of the Deinoychus, Dark Eye, isn't killed by the quilled one, Quetzel, but instead Quetzel kills a different raptor named One Claw, who I suppose was acting like a sycophant.
Finally the ceratasaurus is getting revenge from all those dinosaur documentaries
I remember Age of Repties but sadly it didn't have Lazers and dinosaurs like Dinosaurs For hire.
I love these comics
Funnily enough, some of the Delgado art reminds me of the Adult Swim cartoon 'Primal'.
(EDIT: Damn, I should read the other entries. It looks like more than a few people made the same observation)
I've never been a comic book guy but this guy clearly is passionate about dinosaurs, I think I'll pick the book up at some point
so cool
Dino Diego trying to hide the fact he’s the mastermind behind a secret government project to create human dinosaur crossbreeds, and his schedule’s fucked up because they’ve encountered so many failures but more recently, have had a breakthrough, and WILL be sending dinosaur men into battlefields
How tf do you guys keep finding out about my plans??
if you want something really interesting, look up March of the Mighty Ones. Early / mid 19970s British childrens comic strip involving two children trying to survive in a coutry over run by robot dinosaurs!
Oh dang, I had this book, but my house caught on fire
I think the Webcomic "Darbi" may have taken some inspirations from this like the bursting out of a dead sauropod bit
what mic do you use?/software
I can't wait for the post-Blood Meridian/Unforgiven Age of Reptiles.
@ 23:25 Ankylosaur trippin' on 'shrooms. hahaha
Definitely can say primal took some inspiration from age of reptiles,genndy tartokovsky stated that when he finished the story of spear and fang for possible future seasons of primal he would like to do an anthology of dinosaur stories Wich would be awesome
It would be freaking amazing if age of reptiles was animated series but exactly like the comics 🦖
Do you think it's possible that a second printing of AGE OF REPTILES OMNIBUS VOLUME 1, this time including the missing stories in it, will be published in the future?
You should make a book that’s about like dinosaur that like sound like a water but survived and then Loure yes
I looked at the physical book on Amazon and it's 500 dollars. Daaaamn
