==Description==
''Tragg and the Sky Gods'' was a mix of [[science fiction]] and [[prehistoric fiction]]. The book narrated the tale of a group of advanced aliens who landed on Earth in the distant past and experimented on the [[Neanderthal]]s they found there, producing two [[Cro-Magnon]]s, who would become Tragg and his mate, Lorn. Tragg and Lorn would thus be the ancestors of all modern humans. Writer Glut tied Tragg into other series he created at Gold Key, by having Tragg's Neanderthal brother Jarn appear in ''[[Dagar the Invincible]]''.
