Our thanks to editor Mike Fredericks who sent us the front cover artwork of the next issue of “Prehistoric Times” magazine.  The artwork was created by J. A. Chirinos. His illustrations have been used in various scientific and educational articles all over the world including the BBC website. This artwork of this talented palaeoartist has also graced the front cover of the magazine on numerous occasions.

The front cover art features a pair of Allosaurus. Inside the magazine, John Lavas continues his long-running review of the amazing art of Czech pioneer Zdeněk Burian.  In the summer issue, the focus is on how Burian depicted prehistoric rhinos. In addition, Rosta Walica discusses his third and final Burian book covering prehistoric humans, and our Everything Dinosaur Evolution T. rex model is likely to feature too.

Looking Forward to “Prehistoric Times” Magazine (Summer 2026)

Fans of monster movies are in for a treat. John Navroth highlights Harryhausen’s stop motion work in the film “Valley of Gwangi”. Furthermore, there are all the regular features such as updates on dinosaur fossil discoveries and new model reviews to look forward to.

Lots of reader submitted prehistoric animal artwork too. One of the featured prehistoric animals in this edition, is the primitive armoured dinosaur Scutellosaurus.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“The magazine should be available shortly.  Sue and I are looking forward to viewing the Scutellosaurus artwork.  It will be fascinating to see how readers illustrate this basal thyreophoran dinosaur from the Early Jurassic of North America.”
