Devil Dinosaur
Devil Dinosaur is a Marvel Comics comic book created by Jack Kirby in the late 1970's.
The series lasted nine issues in total and was created during Jack Kirby's third time at Marvel. The first time he was at Marvel was in the 1940's when he worked for Timely Comics which would one day become Marvel. The second one was during the late early 1960's until the early 1970's. The third time was from 1976 until the early 1980's.
Devil Dinosaur was a tyrannosaurus rex that was nearly burned to death. He was freed from the fire by an ape like human called Moon Boy who became his companion.The fire affected the dinosaur in that it turned its skin red. Devil Dinosaur was fiercely loyal to Moon Boy and seemed more intelligent than the average dinosaur (as they were portrayed in the comic). Devil Dinosaur also appeared in a publication of the Marvel Godzilla series
The series was written with the hopes of it being picked up as an animated series.
After Devil Dinosaur ceased publication the two main characters appeared in the 1987 Fallen Angels mini-series.
