    In his short life, Logan has seen such suffering. Little wonder he sought sanctuary in the wilderness, far from humanity. Just him and the wolves, hunting, surviving. But when tragedy strikes his adopted home, Logan is forced back into the world. And he's about to discover how truly cruel it can be. For civilization masks monsters: men like Hugo Haversham, who would exploit Logan as a circus freak. Fiends like the sinister Dr. Essex, prepared to inflict torture in the name of science. And worst of all, another mutant very much like Logan, also torn between man and animal. One who could be his greatest ally - or his fiercest foe.

    When Logan meets Victor Creed, a rivalry for the ages is born.

    When Jurassic Park was released almost 30 years ago, it was an immediate blockbuster and went on to become one of entertainment's largest multimedia franchises, with five more films, theme park attractions, and a robust consumer product program-including a set of trading cards released by Topps in 1993 to tie into the film.

    This comprehensive collection of the original trading card series, timed to publish alongside the release of Jurassic World: Dominion, includes the fronts and backs of all of these classic cards, plus the special chase cards and rare promotional material.
