When a warrior encounters a giant ???dragon?? in a taboo swamp, his grandfather cannot investigate the matter, but asks the Phantom for advice. After entering the swamp to verify the fantastic claim, the Phantom is baffled to see that a stegosaurus has survived the Ice Age and hatched in the jungle.

When several efforts to imprison "Stegy" prove fruitless, the Phantom reverts to a more trusted method of his: taming the animal, which is easier said than done, as is the gargantuan task of persuading palaeontologists, museum directors and even newspaper editors that such an ???extinct?? animal exists.

Watch out for:

The 125 year old explanation for Stegy's existence
