Thundercats #18

A menacing rat-like villain crackles with lightning energy while a fallen ThunderCat lies defeated at his feet — the cover tagline "A Rat in Cat's Clothing!" sets up the deceptive threat at the heart of this December 1987 Star Comics entry. Ernie Colón's cover art captures the storm-charged confrontation with real dramatic punch, the villain's triumphant stance contrasting sharply with the downed hero sprawled in the foreground. Writer Laura Hitchcock and artist Ernie Colón bring the ThunderCats' world to life in a story centered on the treacherous Pumm-Ra — a wolf in sheep's clothing, or rather, a rat in cat's clothing.
