Thundercats #3

The cover headline says it all — "Panthro Stands Alone" — and Jim Mooney and Joe Sinnott deliver on that promise with a striking image of the powerful ThunderCat leaping into a massive mob of rocky, stone-like enemies, nunchaku raised and ready, while a blonde woman looks on in alarm behind him. A towering stone giant looms in the background, axe in hand, making it clear Panthro has his work cut out for him in "Siege in Silver and Stone." Star Comics' 1986 run was bringing the beloved animated franchise to Marvel-quality comic pages, and this issue's cover crackles with the kind of outnumbered-but-undaunted energy that makes Panthro one of the ThunderCats' most compelling warriors.
