Thundercats

Marvel’s ThunderCats series, running 24 issues from 1985 to 1988, adapted the beloved animated saga into comics, following Lion-O, Cheetara, WilyKat, WilyKit, Snarf, and Panthro as they defend the mysterious planet Third Earth. The book was shepherded by a rotating team of top-tier talents, most notably writers Gerry Conway, David Michelinie, and Steve Perry, with artists José Delbo, Jim Mooney, and Ernie Colón bringing the feline heroes’ adventures to vivid, action-packed life. It stands as a key tie-in that helped solidify the franchise’s comic-book legacy during the height of ’80s pop-culture synergy.
