The Journey: Plateosaurus
The first volume in a series of six comic-book adventures that bring the dinosaurs back to life.
The Journey, the first title in Abbeville's Dinosaurs series, features over 60 pages in full-color. It takes place in the late Triassic period, 210 million years ago, in the northern part of the supercontinent Pangaea. It follows the dangerous trek of a Plateosaurus—a giant herbivore—and her hatchlings in search of food.
In Abbeville’s Dinosaurs series, a talented artist and a noted paleontologist have teamed up to re-create the vanished world of the dinosaurs for young readers. Each volume in the series tells the story, in comic-book form, of a different dinosaur living in its particular geological time and place. The narrative is entertaining, while all the details of the dinosaur’s behavior and its encounters with other species are rendered with scientific accuracy. At the back of each volume, meanwhile, are several short essays, abundantly illustrated with original drawings and photographs of fossils, that explain more about the creatures and geographical settings encountered in the comic.

Who writes these forewords? This here claimed that dinosaurs conquered the sky and the sea. Sky... yeah, that is true since birds are dinosaurs, but the sea? The only dinosaur that I think might be semi-aquatic was spinosaurus. Those marine reptiles were not dinosaurs, some (like mosasaurus) weren't even archosaurs, they were basically marine lizards, actual lizards.
The comic gets it right when it says dinosaurs took to the sky and settled the land... so who writes the foreword?"
And like the last issue, this here reads as if pterosaurs are dinosaurs. In fact if at one point there would be a dot instead of a comma it would be correct, but as there is a comma there it suggests that pterosaurs are dinosaurs. How can anyone make that mistake?
