Dinosty

Dinosty (a pun on the famous television drama Dynasty) is a strip by Pat Mills and Clint Langley published in 2000 AD progs 873 to 882. It was originally intended for a kids' anthology comic called Earthside 8 that never got off the ground, in which case it was very naughty of Mills to include dialogue like this: "I'm a fisticuffs boy myself." "Indeed... unlike your younger brother who'd rather stay at home and... twang his lute." The setting is the planet Dynos, where sentient bipedal dinosaurs treat humans like cattle and generally act like the Termite 'royal family' (Torquemada and Candida) crossed with Nemesis the Warlock (hence the fangs, scales, claws, etc). Throw in mention of a magic sword and a human warped by mystical power into an unstoppable killing machine, and you've got hints of Sláine as well.
