STEM-inspired comics adventures drawn in a full-color manga-style reminiscent of Dragonball Z, with special illustrated pages devoted to science facts. The Dinosaur Explorers—Rain, Emily, Sean, and Stone, along with Dr. Da Vinci, his assistant, Diana, and their robot helper, Starz-- were all flung back in time by Dr. Da Vinci’s particle transmitter, and the solar-power device can only bring them back to the present a few centuries at a time, giving them all a perfect opportunity to explore the past—provided they can actually survive it. They now find themselves back in the Jurassic, and they quickly find it’s no walk in the park (Get it?) (Sorry.). This is the grand age of dinosaurs, but also the time when the first non-dinosaur animals begin to stretch their wings!

Trapped in the Precambrian Era 570 million years ago by an earthquake, the X-Venture Xplorers find themselves in a fix- by needing a bigger fix for their time machine! Rain, Sean and Stone are now faced with the challenge of finding electricity in an era where human haven"t even evolved! And to make matters worse, the locals don"t take kindly to them either! Witness all the wonders of our world"s past with these PREHISTORIC PIONEERS!

In the late Cretaceous period, many animals began to take wing, and dinosaurs were no exception. Fly high with our dino-“soar” friends as well as Rain, Emily, and the rest of Dr. Da Vinci’s Dinosaur Explorers crew as they find out just how these flying creatures stay afloat! But these time travelers have to be careful--these aren’t friendly skies they’re flying in; the lord of the skies is an expert predator with a prehistoric eagle eye. It will take luck and ingenuity to survive this era and make it one step closer to making it home.

Plunged way back into the past, Rain, Emily, and the rest of the Dinosaur Explorers, continue to make their way back to the present, but first they must take the plunge and submerge themselves into the prehistoric oceans. What they find is that the weightlessness of the water caters to larger creatures, sometimes bigger than dinosaurs themselves! Here they must dodge carnivorous ancient dolphins, elude massive crocodile creatures, and essentially do their best to survive. But it’s also possible that they may even find some undersea friends. One thing is for certain, the Dinosaur Explorers are in way over their heads! Will they sink or swim?

Once again, the X-Venture Xplorers find themselves in the past- 430 millions years way back when, in the Silurian era! Somehow, Rain managed to snare Emily in one of his schemes to collect ancient treasure. However, they find far more than they bargained for when a group of prehistoric shellfish decide to snack them! Guess you have to expect that sort of thing while you"re PUTTERING IN THE PALAEOZOIC!
