Forced into hiding by a global ecological cataclysm, humans emerge from their underground warrens half a millennium later to discover that the Earth has been totally transformed. The familiar flora and fauna are gone, replaced by a radically altered natural order populated by rampaging dinosaurs and strange, new creatures. It takes guts, grim determination, ingenuity and a whole lot of old-fashioned luck just to survive, much less thrive, in this alien wilderness.

Xenozoic combines lush artwork with a pulp-fueled narrative to create an action-packed fantasy. Shot from Schultz' original artwork, this black and white collection is the ultimate Xenozoic experience!
