"What a strange new world, to have such creatures in it!" Forced into hiding by a global ecological cataclysm, humans emerge from their underground warrens half a millennium later to discover that the Earth has been totally transformed. All of the familiar flora and fauna are gone, replaced by a radically altered natural order populated by rampaging dinosaurs and strange new creatures. It takes guts, grim determination, ingenuity and a whole lot of old-fashioned luck just to survive, much less thrive, in this alien wilderness--all qualities that ace mechanic Jack Tenrec, lovely scientist Hannah Dundee and their friends possess in abundance. But even the worthiest of these hardy souls are hard-pressed to surmount the obstacles presented by their new homeland. And when those trials are further compounded by the underhanded and selfish actions of the cutthroat human scavengers they encounter, even the best-equipped and bravest among them might not endure. Xenozoic combines lush and richly realized ink-and-brush artwork with a pulp-fueled narrative to create an action-packed fantasy--an unrelenting adventure that also serves as a subtle cautionary fable concerning the unforeseen consequences that shortsighted present-day decisions might have upon future generations.

Dark Horse Comics is proud to present the second of two volumes collecting award-winning cartoonist Mark Schultz's Xenozoic Tales. Schultz's vision of the future includes ruined cities, guana powered vehicles, warring factions of humanity, reborn dinosours, and their intelligent, humanoid descendants. The tough-as-nails shaman, Jack Tenrec, and the beautiful scientist, Hannah Dundee, yearn to uncover the origins and secrets of their violent world while dealing with their own rocky relationship. Xenozoic Tales became a major network cartoon, and the storytelling talents of Mark Schultz have earned this series two Eisner Comics Industry Awards and five Harvey Awards. In an age where mechanics are prized rarities and dinosours stalk bipedal prey where all past ages mix with a weird and wild future, mankind's petly political squabbles and mistakes take a back seat to the untamable forces of nature. Once you let the profound creativity of Xenozoic Tales sink its teeth in you, you'll be scredming for morel. This volume also features a new cover by Schultz, a sketchbook section, and a new introduction and drawing by Frank Cho. Book jacket.
