Dinosaur Hour

This is an all-ages graphic novel filled with dinosaurs and gags. The original Japanese edition had a strong appeal for young boys, but we felt that the design would turn off female readers. The new cover was created by pulling black and white art from the interior of the book. These images were composed and then painted in Photoshop in bold, bright, contrasting colors. The final design is appropriate for the book's content and is equally attractive for boys and girls.

Please note: This book is an English edition of a manga (Japanese graphic novel) and is read from right to left. Instead of flipping the art, the work is shown in its original orientation.
