From the dawn of the Silver Age of comics, issue No. 5 in the original run of Turok under the Dell publishing banner, appearing as a regular quarterly comic, with a publishing date of September-November 1956. This issue features the typical painted cover that stood Turok apart, and contains the graphic stories "The River of Fire" and "The Secret Place".
