bloody, with one card showing schoolchildren being eaten by an Allosaurus, a Stegosaurus devouring a police officer while its spiked tail gouges out the eye of another and a Pteranodon tearing apart the President of the United States. The cards also contain gross inaccuracies in their depiction of dinosaurs; for instance, in one card, trilobites are portrayed as "flesh-eating worms" that attack humans. In reality, trilobites consumed mud for nutrients. Also, a Dimetrodon is depicted as dwarfing St. Basil's Cathedral, several herbivores are depicted as flesh-eaters and other various dinosaurs are depicted as being almost kaiju-like. In fact, one can see references to the films Gorgo and Reptilicus, and two science-fictional dinosaurs, the Rhedosaurus and the Paleosaurus, are among the depicted creatures. Trachodon is the exception; it is correctly portrayed as a plant-eater and is never seen directly causing any deaths (it does, however, indirectly cause death when startling one man on a hunting trip so badly that he shoots another by accident). Additionally, it is the only one on the 11 stickers shown not killing a human (instead, it is trying to eat a streetlight). Despite the company's hopes, Dinosaurs Attack! did not achieve commercial success. Tim Burton was planning on making a film version but dismissed it when Jurassic Park was released. Instead, he made the film Mars Attacks! In 2016, Topps and Kickstarter released Mars Attacks: Occupation, an all-new trading card series that contained six different subsets. One of these was a nine card subset titled Mars Attacks vs. Dinosaurs Attack!. This is the first time that the two famous trading card series' storylines have been combined. In 2019, the collectible cards were discussed on two episodes of the popular podcast Hello Internet by hosts CGP Grey and Dr. Brady Haran. Comic book adaptation In 1991 Eclipse Comics began releasing a three-part miniseries based on the cards. However, due to the poor performance of both the comics and the trading cards they ended up only releasing the first issue. The comic book also included four Dinosaurs Attack! bonus cards that had never been seen before and have not been reprinted since. In July 2013, IDW Publishing reprinted the one issue of the Eclipse comic and finished the story as part of the series' 25th anniversary. While the original series was only meant to be three issues, IDW expanded the project into a five-part miniseries. In February 2014,
