"Krigstein returned to Atlas in October 1956 with a vengeance — doing 13 stories in two months.... The second entry in that breathless run, 'Dinosaur' is obviously not labored over, but its breakdowns, compositions, characterizations, and brushwork leave little doubt that a master is at work." — Greg Sadowsky, B. Krigstein Comics. Fantagraphics: 2004, p. 230.
