Illustrated by
Patrick O'Brien.
When a mysterious UFO lands on Jurassica's moon, Captain Raptor and his dinosaur crew investigate. Their spaceship crash-lands in the moon's ocean, is attacked by Octocolossus, then they meet earthling spacemen--one of whom Captain Raptor rescues from a giant Pteraspikadon. The vivid, dramatic comic book-style illustrations are more successful than the simple story, which lacks personality and suspense.
