Land of the Lost - The Complete 1st Season is on-its-way, as we've mentioned before. Rhino has now offically announced the title, including the extras. We dug a little deeper and got ahold of detailed information about the bonus material, which we've listed below. Rhino has also provided some early cover art, which is (as you can see) in black-and-white:
Free-fall through an open time portal...to a world where menacing dinosaurs roam free! Get reacquainted with Cha-Ka even if it means having to come to blows over a gigantic vegetable or two. Then stumble once again onto the ruins of Lost City. No matter which path of adventure you choose to follow - above all else: Beware of Sleestak! For heeding that last little bit of advice alone should assure you survival in this anything-but-routine expedition with Marshall, Will, and Holly. Grab hold to the side of the raft! The falls lie just up ahead. Hang on, now! You'll soon be glad to have rediscovered the LAND OF THE LOST.

Gerrold, of course, was an episode writer and the first-season script editor on the original
Land of the Lost series, but is perhaps best-known as the inventor of "Tribbles" in the classic
Star Trek episode. He's hard at work on the next book in
The War Against The Chtorr series,
A Method For Madness, which I'm madly waiting for myself. Like me, you can keep up with his doings by reading his various BLogs. He's only got about 8 of them! They're among the most fascinating reading on the internet, so check them out by clicking

Land of the Lost - The Complete 1st Season is already up for pre-order at both
Amazon.com and at
DVDEmpire.com. Stay tuned, and we'll be back with final cover art just as soon as it's released.
