The Twilight: 2000 system is a relatively tactics-heavy system, but C&D at its heart is a fast-paced, pulp adventure, and the two don't mesh. It uses the rules from another CDW post-apocalyptic game, "Twilight: 2000," and that's its major downfall. Despite its age, it's still relatively easy to find on sites such as Ebay or, and I've spotted it a few times while browsing through comic and hobby shops. Then, of course, there was "C&D: The Roleplaying Game," written by none other than Frank Chadwick of "Space: 1889" fame.Ĭ&D is a 144-page, magazine-sized paperback published in 1990. (The album is decent, if you can get past the corny lyrics: "We make love with fang and claw! Fa-a-ang and claw-w-w!") It was the basis for a beat-'em-up arcade game a Sega CD shooter a few toys a sharply animated, if dumbed-down, Saturday morning cartoon and even a music album with 1950s-ish songs.

The series may have only lasted 14 issues and ended mid-story, but it enjoyed a surprising amount of marketing success for an alternative comic. C&D was the catchier title so it's the one that stuck.
Technically, "Cadillacs & Dinosaurs" (abbreviated hereafter as "C&D") is the nickname for a short-lived comics series titled "Xenozoic Tales." It was the brainchild of Mark Schultz, who both wrote and provided most of the artwork for each of the series' 14 issues. But if it sounds familiar, that's because it's the setting of a comic book series you might have heard of: Cadillacs & Dinosaurs. Chances are you've never heard of the Xenozoic, that as-yet-to-come geologic era when every creature that ever existed once again roams the Earth, and when what's left of mankind cruises the countryside in retrofitted 1940s and '50s Cadillacs.
