While hollow earth adventures died out in literature, they stayed alive in comic books. Mike Grell wrote & illustrated the adventures of "The Warlord", a sword & sorcery series set inside a dinosaur-filled hollow earth for DC comics in the '70s.
ERB penned 7 Pellucidar novels. He even had his most famous creation Tarzan visit the inner world. The books have, in turn, spawned numerous comic books, TV episodes, & a best-left-unseen film.
2nd only to Verne's hollow earth in fame is Edgar Rice Burroughs's Pellucidar. ERB populated his inner world with all manner of prehistoric creatures depending on where his imagination took his pen. Dinosaurs, mammoths, saber-toothed cats—they're there.
Some readers might know Williamson best from his work on popular titles like Flash Gordon, Star Wars, & Secret Agent Corrigan. He had no qualms about including dinosaurs in those comics either.

Sci-fi author Harry Harrison (1925-2012) was born on this day. Readers of this feed might best know him as the author of the "Eden" trilogy which features dinosaurs & sentient terrestrial mosasaurs.
@PermianSailback I'm guessing Knight's neanderthals had lots to do with it. That and the fact that non-comedy Hanna-Barbera definitely had a house style which was very Alex Toth.
