When an amnesiac Viking warrior washed up on the shores of a fishing village in fifth century Iceland, the villagers guessed from his garb that he was royalty, and so they called him Jon, after a legendary prince. Only Thorvald, ruler of a nearby town, realized that he was in fact both royalty and a threat to his own power -- and so, Thorvald plotted to kill Jon. While dodging Thorvald's attempts on his life, Jon also battled giants, sea monsters, witches and more... moreWhen an amnesiac Viking warrior washed up on the shores of a fishing village in fifth century Iceland, the villagers guessed from his garb that he was royalty, and so they called him Jon, after a legendary prince.

But what's cooler than a dinosaur? A giant dinosaur. A giant dinosaur battling a handful of brave soldiers? Even better.The 1960s were a tumultuous and stressful time. During that era, the original Suicide Squad--Rick Flag and his team of regular guys (and one woman)--stood between monsters and mankind. Their stories flourished during an era of social upheaval, when there was always a reader for a story in which someone small and brave could succeed against the big scary monster. less
