Print Media

With the help of some kind people, I'm going to attempt to compile an archive of TC print media, both old and new. Obviously, I don't own everything ever printed and distributed for ThunderCats. Therefore, it will be impossible for me to offer scans and summaries of what I don't have. That's where you can come in. If you have an item not in this section and would like to email me a cover scan, interior scans and a summary on the item, by all means do so (be sure to include credits on the item, like when it was published, who wrote it, who published it, etc). You'll be given proper credit and links back to your own page if you've got one. What I won't post in some cases is scans of entire items, as that's getting in shady legal waters and I want to keep it on the up and up. Some older out-of-print items might be available in full, however, so contact me to see where your item may fall.

There are other sites that have covered much of what's below, so this isn't exactly revolutionary. But I hope you appreciate the convenience of having it here. Although recently, I've been collecting some rare items of memorabilia, so I hope you enjoy having those available to you as well.
Also, please read my content usage disclaimer, especially if you plan on 'borrowing' this information.

Comics & Annuals

Wildstorm Comics:

Here you'll find info and pics of the recent series of comics out of DC's Wildstorm division. This part is nearly complete.

Marvel's Star Comics

A series of comics released in the mid-80s, most fans agree the art and coloring left a lot to be desired but the story telling was decent. The US issues are covered completely; the UK issues need to be fleshed out yet.

British Annuals:
These hardcover books were basically graphic novels that were released only in the UK. This area is now complete.

Magazines & Books

ThunderCats Magazines:
These periodicals were released in the 80s, and included a poster with each issue. This area is complete.

Panini Sticker Album:
This sticker book contained several episodic tales, with a series of stickers to collect and a poster for your wall. This section is complete.

ThunderCats Books:
In the 80s, several books were published starring ThunderCats and their adventures.

ThunderCats Coloring Books:
What would an 80s toon franchise be without coloring books?

ThunderCats Activity Books:
Covers and select pages from old time activity books for kids.

ThunderCats Tour Program:
The ThunderCats starred in a live stage show during the 80s...some scans of the program from that tour await you.

Cosmocats:
A rare "bible" of sorts, released in France as part of their DVD release. Text is mostly in French, but the art is great. See some of it here.

Press Kits, Ads, Character Sheets, Etc

Ads & Clippings:

Rankin Bass promos for advertisers and various magazine ads or clippings.

Character Sheets:
Scanned in copies of character study art for the show, featuring a variety of main and minor characters.

Blueprints:
Much like the character studies, except these are like "blueprint" sheets for various buildings, ships and items in the show.

Promo Sheets:
Rankin Bass had these neat semi-glossy and usually black and white promo sheets circulating back in the day, and I came upon a few of them.

Art Elements:
Various samples of character art from Rankin Bass that aren't of the "study" nature.

Scripts:
Scanned scripts from the show.

Synopsis & Morals:
Dr. Robert Kuisis' (the show's psychological consultant) commentary on the moral each season one episode is supposed to impart for children. Cross-referenced from the episodes area.

Toon Magazine Article:
An article Toon Magazine ran about the Thundercats, also cross-referenced here from the episodes section.
