Issued 2 May 1987 Written by David Micheline. Art by Mooney, DeMulder Special thanks to Spaced Angel for the scans and information on this issue. Continuation of ongoing story from last issue. After a quick recap, Lion-O says he smells a rat. The power of Sight beyond Sight shows him that Castle Plun-darr has not been destroyed, rather it was an illusion which the Sword dispels. The Mutants charge out to do battle and Mumm-ra appears, as gigantic as ever and claiming to be three times as powerful, thanks to Jaga's powers which he has stolen. After a show of Mumm-ra's new powers, Lion-O persuades Slithe to join forces with the Thundercats to defeat Mumm-ra. After some reluctance, Slithe agrees and everyone, including Lynxana, heads out to attack Mumm-ra's Pyramid and battle commences. First inclusion of 'Thunder-Chat' - reader's letters answered by 'Snarf' #8 MUMM-RA TIMES THREE

Issued 16 May 1987 Written by Simon Furman. Art by Yeowell, Baskerville Special thanks to Spaced Angel for the scans and information on this issue. Lion-O has nightmares of a creature that attacks his friends and he is unable to help them. He wakes from his dreams, shaken and tired, and unsure whether he should tell the other Thundercats. These events are watched by Mumm-ra, who goes to the Mutants and tells them of his plan to destroy the Thundercats. Dawn, the next day, Lion-O is still sleeping while the others fend off a Mutant assault on the Lair. Still in the grip of his dream, Lion-O hears their cries as they are overwhelmed and he wakes up to find that he is 10-years-old again. #10 WAKING NIGHTMARE 
Issued 23 May 1987 Written by Simon Furman. Art by Yeowell, Baskerville, and Gilbert This is part two of a story that began in the previous issue. In this installment, Lion-O awakes to find the nightmares he'd been having for the past week have come true. He's awaken to find himself reverted back to a 10 year old cub which means he's unable to even lift the Sword of Omens to help his friends, who are being visciously attacked by Mutants outside the Lair. When Jaga investigates, he's appalled to find Lion-O sitting on the floor of his bedroom sobbing. Of course, Jaga can see that Lion-O hasn't become a child at all. Apparently, Mumm-Ra caused the terrible dreams and now that Lion-O is sleep deprived and events seem to be mirroring the stuff of those nightmares, Lion-O only *thinks* he's a child. So, instead of undermining his confidence farther, Jaga encourages Lion-O to help his friends despite being 'small and weak'. His faith in himself renewed, Lion-O jumps into the fray in time to save his friends. #11 INVASION 
Issued 30 May 1987 Written by Ian Rimmer. Art by Griffiths, Hine & Place This issue introduces the Berzerkers, who with the help of Slithe, devise a way to ambush and capture all the Thundercats. Now, Slithe has the Sword of Omens and the Berzerkers are free to take over Third Earth. However, Lion-O has a yet-to-be-seen trick up his sleeve in the form of a mysterious invention he brought along with him. I also find it interesting that the comics set it so that Lion-O cannot just tap into the Sword's power whenever he feels like it - there's a refractory period of sorts at play here. Interesting! #12 INVASION 
Issued 6 June 1987 Written by Ian Rimmer. Art by Griffiths, Hine & Place Download the issue in pdf format.
