TUROK Paperback Novels

Vault-Keeper · Post by **Vault-Keeper** » Sun Jul 11, 2004 9:10 am

Hi all-
I have three of the Turok paperback novels that came out in November & December 1998. Does anyone else have these in their collections?

I don't know if there were more than three or not. They were published by Gold Key/Golden Books. All three were written by Michael Teitelbaum, with covers by Ken Taylor.

They are:

#1-Way Of The Warrior,
#2-Seeds Of Evil, &
#3-Arena Of Doom.

They all have neat little flip-books on the bottom right corner that show Turok drawing his bow, etc. They were done by Charlie Botton on #1 & #2; & Frank Saurez & Irene Wu on #3.

They are all around 150 pages. The last page of #3 advertises TUROK #4-The Path Of Destruction coming in Jan. 1999, but I don't know if it was ever published.

There is no mention of Valiant or Acclaim. It just mentions that the stories are based on the video games, & it gives the old Turok.com web address (which is still up & has a neat Turok novella by Fabian on it, for those who don't know).

Here are the pics of the paperbacks. The first three are the covers. The fourth pic is of the spines, & the last one shows one of the flip-book pictures. You flip the corner, & it makes an animated sequence. Does anyone else have these?

Enjoy!

There are several magazine sized strategy guides for Shadowman, Turok, & Armorines, that are pretty cool also. I guess they are all part of the V2 universe, but they aren't comics, so there will always be someone out there that doesn't think they need to be added. I just hadn't seen the Turok paperbacks mentioned here before, & was wondering if anyone else had them & how many were made.

Anyone here have a pack of the Shadowman (V3) Playing Cards? I lost a bid on a deck last month on ebay. They looked pretty cool!---Steve G

These books are not rare by any means. They are quite easy to find for sale all over the Internet.

Path of Destruction was published and among the many places you can find it, here's a link to Half.com where it is for sale quite cheap.

Hi Ryan-
Thanks for the info! I had just picked them up, & didn't know much about them. Where only four made? It would have been cool to have other Valiant novels, like Shadowman/Deadside or X-O.
