Back to Zero 405-435 (1960)
Thanks to Kashgar for the infomation.
Gerald "Ron Smith- Back from Zero Topper 1961":
This reminds me of a 1968 Topper serial featuring a lost land where dinosaurs still live. It recounts the adventures of a father and son who go there and must brave tropical poisons, volcanoes and other hazards, as well as the dinosaurs, as they try to get back to civilisation. Another of Ron Smith's, perhaps?...

To answer Gerald's comment on Peter's blog, 'Back to Zero' was actually a sequel to the 1957 serial 'In the Kingdom of Zero' which was reprinted in 1967. In this case Ken Hunter was the original artist.

thanks Phil..
It was 'Journey to the Lost Land'. I found the following description in 'A Complete Index to the Topper Comic by Ray Moore (A & B Whitworth, 1991) (typos corrected--it looks like an OCR output that still needed editing was uploaded to the Internet Archive). 'While exploring a remote tributary of the River Amazon, a hunter who catches animals for zoos and his son meet a strange native called Zuma who leads them on a quest to the Burning Mountain.' According to the same source, art was by H. R. Platt. The strip originally appeared in Topper No. 359 (19.12.59) - No. 383 (4.6.60) and was reprinted in No. 847 (26.4.69) - No. 867 (13.9.69) (the run I remember) and again in No. 1383 (4.8.79) - No. 1403 (22.12.79).
