UK Issued Star Comics

Below you'll find images and summaries of the UK versions of the old comic series for ThunderCats, which ran in the 80s. There are 135 issues in all; this page covers issues 109-120. From what I can tell, they follow the continuum of the TV series pretty closely, yet new story lines and ideas are meshed within them as well. I also discovered that there's so many issues because one adventure is spread out over two issues.
Mind you, I have scant few of these, so it may be some time before this area offers a comprehensive collection. I'm going to try to buy issues from ebay, and when I do, I'll update this part of the site. But you can help too!
If you have any issues not accounted for here and have access to a scanner, feel free to email me the pics (generally, I do the cover and one or two interior scans), publishing/author information, and a summary of the issue. I'll be happy to give you credit, of course, complete with links back to your site if you have one. Together, maybe we can pull this section together faster than I could on my own.

#115 BAD PLAYMATES PART 3


Issued 30 June 1990
Written by James Rose. Art by Delbo,Simons, & Scotese
Special thanks to Spaced Angel for the scans and information on this issue.

After an eventful party with the Nai people, the Thundercats return to Cats' Lair to be welcomed by WilyKit and WilyKat. Yet there is something suspicious about these Thunderkittens as Snarf soon finds out, not least because they have blue eyes. These 'Thunderdecoys' say that the Thundercats must pay a ransom in return for the lives of the Thunderkittens or else they will perish. Lion-O faces a dilemma and searches for an answer. Meanwhile, the Thunderkittens are being held by the Mutants. Lion-O and Panthro appear with the ransom, while Cheetara hides in a tree, ready to spring her trap to free WilyKit and WilyKat.

#116 BAD PLAYMATES PART 4


Issued 14 July 1990
Written by James Rose. Art by Delbo,Simons, & Scotese
Special thanks to Spaced Angel for the scans and information on this issue.

Lion-O has hidden the Sword of Omens and calls it to his hand. The Mutants are quickly defeated and the Thunderdecoys destroyed. WilyKit and WilyKat reflect on how silly they were to be tricked and say that they can't believe the others would risk giving the Mutants treasure to free them. Lion-O tells them he would risk all the treasures of Third Earth to keep them from harm. Later, the Thundercats are kicking a ball round outside the Lair and Lion-O is navel-gazing and pondering the meaning of life, only to give up and join in the fun.

#117 WILYKAT'S WISH


Issued 28 July 1990
Written by Dwight Jon Zimmerman and Ian Rimmer. Art by Mooney, Harwood, Dozy & Euan Peters
Special thanks to Spaced Angel for the scans and information on this issue.

WilyKat and Lion-O are fooling around on the spaceboards. WilyKat grabs the Sword of Omens and pretends to be the Lord of the Thundercats, only to be reprimanded by Panthro for his stupid behaviour. He goes off in a huff, saying that if he became leader there would be some big changes. His route takes him to the ruins of the ancient Dyrad city, where he meets Ilsa, last of the Dyrads. She shows him the Waterfall of Wishes and tells him that its magic waters make wishes come true. Sure enough, WilyKat dives into the waters and emerges as a fully grown Thundercat. Back at the Lair, he is shocked to find that Lion-O is now a cub and the tables have been turned.
