Take a colourful tour through the prehistoric animal kingdom with this hilarious collection of non-fiction comics from award-winning author Mike Barfield and illustrator Paula Bossio. From the earliest life forms living under the ocean, to the most fearsome dinosaurs, all the way through to early mammals like the woolly mammoth, this book tells the story of what life was really like on early Earth. Discover what these animals looked like, where they lived and how they survived (or didn't) in the most extreme conditions. Split into chapters covering the Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras, the book covers animals from all over the world, with each one telling its own life story. Also featured are 'Dead Cool' pages showing some of the stranger animals of each period, and 'Living Legends' pages looking at the true survivors who are still around today. This is a funny, accessible guide to the astonishing animals who once thrived in a world that looked very different to the world of today.
