Story and art by Masashi Tanaka.

Three brand new tales of the world's last living dinosaur find the two-foot-tall Gon in different parts of the modern world, making friends and battling any who threaten his new-found companions.

In "Gon Becomes a Turtle," the diminutive dino slips on an empty turtle shell and joins a horde of hatchlings, while, in "Gon Journeys Into the Desert," Gon must endure a harrowing trek through an arid wasteland, all while trying to keep his animal companions alive. And the final story in this collection, "Gon and His Posse," finds the fierce (but lovable) dinosaur on the savannas of Africa, where he befriends a group of wild, orphan lions.

Paradox Edition

1st printing.

Story and art by HOWARD CRUSE.

In the 1960s American South, a young gas-station attendant named Toland Polk is rejected from the Army draft for admitting "homosexual tendencies," and falls in with a close-knit group of young locals yearning to break from the conformity of their hometown through civil rights activism, folk music and upstart communality of race-mixing, gay-friendly nightclubs. Toland's story is both deeply personal and epic in scope, as his search for identity plays out against the brutal fight over segregation, an unplanned pregnancy and small-town bigotry, aided by an unforgettable supporting cast.
