Devil Dinosaur 1978 #3 - mid-grade - $4.99

Ruka; a young member of the "Big Ones" (giant fur covered cavemen), has come to the Valley and has captured Moon Boy for a pet. Meanwhile Ruka's father (a giant wearing the hollowed out head of a Triceratops as a helmet), has come to the Valley looking for him destroying countless Dinosaurs in the process. Devil engages him in battle and lures him into a bog where he begins to drown. Meanwhile Moon Boy escapes and pleads with Devil to save Ruka's father when he realizes the giant was only looking for his offspring. Devil uses a tree to do so, and the Giant grabs Ruka and leaves the Valley.
