WWII Dinosaurs in 'Chronos Commandos'

Stuart Jennett wants us to imagine an alternate history of World War II, one where time travel would allow the Nazis to procure a few dinosaurs to turn the tide and win the war. His five-issue comic series has been collected into a new hardback graphic novel Chronos Commandos: Dawn Patrol available now from Titan Comics.

Jennett was a comic book artist in the early '90s who became a concept artist for video game companies. He's both the writer and the artist here and his striking images were created digitally instead of with paper and ink. There's a ton of gore: the dinosaurs freely dismember both Allied and Nazi troops and the machine gun-wielding lead scientist looks a lot like Albert Einstein.

The whole think reads like a tribute to low-budget war movies and even more low-budget sci-fi movies from the '50s and '60s, but the gore level is straight out of '70s-era drive-in horror movies. Check out an excerpt  in our slideshow below:
