Prehistoric Times Magazine
One-year Subscription: 4 issues $40

Our first pick today in The 2024 PopCult Gift Guide is Prehistoric Times, a wonderful print magazine for dinosaur enthusiasts and collectors of related merchandise. You are not likely to find this mag locally in WV. Books A Million no longer has the impressive magazine rack that they used to. I discovered this magazine (which has 30+ years of history) at Barnes & Noble on a trip earlier this year, and I fell in love with it.

Each full color, 50+ page issue includes reviews of the latest prehistoric animal model kits, toy figures, books and more, plus interviews with artists and scientists, artwork from the finest paleoartists in the world and the latest scientific discoveries in paleontology.

There’s also news and information about prehistoric life you won’t find anywhere else. This is some seriously fascinating and engrossing stuff for dinosaur fans, and the artwork on display every issue is amazing.

As a bonus, in addition to the tons of cool art in every issue, the magazine sports a logo by master dinosaur (and other cool stuff) illustrator, William Stout, a regular at WonderFest USA. Mel and I have several signed and inscribed books by William.

Prehistoric Times is the perfect gift for the dinosaur enthusiast of any age on your holiday shopping list. You can go to the website and subscribe and also order back issues so that you can put a pile of them under the tree. It’s also available digitially, but is much harder to wrap that way. And if you really love dinosaurs, you might want to join the magazine’s Facebook Group.
