Thundercats was an iconic 1980’s cartoon show about a group of half-cat, half-man (and woman) heroes from a distant world and a distant time… who lived on Third Earth?

LOL.. that comic book isn’t worth shit, you took it out of the package you moron!!
do you know how much it is worth? i have one for some reason in my comic book collection from when i was a kid, although i never readit, but it is in mint condition. is it very valuable?
I’m sorry but your review sucks.
Ha ha you are crazy… the snarf comment. Soooooo right though
And the rest of the world just looks like they are.
U AMERICans sound like assholes
great!
remember snarfie snarf or something like that ? I think he was based on this comic charachter
I can’t figure out this cross marketing. What kind of kid would read Thundercats and also be interested in the Care Bears?
Lion-O aged as his cryo tube was damaged, so his body ages while he was asleep.
It also explains why he has Snarf as a nanny still as he’s still a child in a mans body and why he always ended up getting into trouble every bleedin’ episode.
though looking back, it seems quite humourous having a retarded thundercat. maybe he was thunder-autistic or something :D
Why is it that Lion-O looks more like Hellboy on that cover?
“Thundara?” Is that like “Airlandia”? Looking back at 80s comics and TV shows, I sometimes wonder what it is that was so appealing. Most of them haven’t aged well at all.
SNARF!
Cool! i have many of theese comic books too :D
Bwahahaha! I remember this! In episode one, everyone was NEKKID but there were no nipples or genitals. So, I use to walk around naked too thinking I was a Thundercat until they put on those cool uniforms. She-Ra was hot also. I use to fap with my “sword of protection” while watching her! Thanks for the memories.
Carebears should of been killed by the Decepticons lol. my sister is 25 & she will cry when i tell her that lol
‘I always felt that care-a-lot should’ve been invaded by the decepticons’
Brilliant
I have this comic book in plastic. what is it worth?
you fool its still a dope book to have. if i could dictact the price it would be worth $55 & 55 cents lol
At some point in “Exodus,” Lion-O recalled Jaga say, “Although the suspension capsules slow down the aging process, some aging does take place.” So perhaps Lion-O grew 6 or 7 of the 10 years he was in stasis As a kid, I thought he might be about 22 because he was 12 when he left Thundera, but in retrospect I would think him a tall and buff 18-or 19-year-old. Also a larger breed of cat than the Thunderkittens, who could have aged a couple of years. Their capsules were just more effective.
Yes, I watched The Thunder Cats on TV in my mid-teen years. Snarf was the comic-relief on the show. Another show done by the same animators was Silver Hawks.
I remeber hearing about the comic release for Thundercat’s. Well in my opinion I rather just stick with the cartoon, since the comic wasn’t too promising. They did a really bad choice when they made that, I never could stand Snarf.
I thought Mumm RA was a great cartoon Villain with a cool lair, I did not think Ma mut was a good Idea tho. If they use him in the movie I hope hes transformed into some kind of Hell Hound
First off the comic is incorrect if you watch the first thundercat cartoon you will see that lion-o strap was broken because he grew. if you watch move of the series of thundercats you will learn that his capsule was broken
Thundercats comics #4 was the best a bounrty hunter name lynxana. She trapped tygra,panthro,cheetara,wildkit and wildcat. Than she had a fight with lion-0 to a draw. She was a bad ass bountry hunter.
If I’m not mistaken, Wiley Kid and Wiley Kat are fully grown already. They’re kinda like house cats compared to big cats. In the cartoon, Lion-O came out of his pod with torn clothes (since he outgrew them)
With all due respect, I disagree with your opinion that Snarf was useless. Even if he was irritating, he may have been created that way purposely. Though Snarf’s incessant babying annoyed Lion-O, there had to be a small part of him that liked it. Having grown up on the show, I found it a diamond mine, probably like many other kids who never had role models as exemplary as these characters. Lion-O, for one, has many angelic qualities that most men twice his age in real life may never have.
