''[[w:ThunderCats (1985 TV series)|ThunderCats]]'' was a 1985 animated series produced by [[w:Rankin/Bass Animated Entertainment|Rankin/Bass]] – yes, the ''Rudolph'' people – based on characters created by [[w:Tobin Wolf|Ted Wolf]]. The show told the story of a group of feline nobles exiled from their dying home planet coming to settle on the surreal world of [[Third Earth]], where they must contend not only with its strange flora, fauna, and peoples but also the frequent machinations of the devil priest [[Mumm-Ra]], who sought to gain the power of leader [[Lion-O]]'s mystical Sword of Omens. ''ThunderCats'' stood out due to its anime-influenced (by which we mean "outsourced to Japan") animation, its moral lessons courtesy of a psychological consultant on staff, and the part of its first episode where all the main characters stroll around in the nuddy.
In the U.S., ''ThunderCats'' received {{Marvel|ThunderCats_Vol_1|a tie-in Marvel comic book}} under the [[w:Star Comics|Star Comics]] imprint. Following in the footsteps of giant( robot)s, Marvel UK's version of ''ThunderCats'' augmented its U.S. reprints with homegrown strips, text stories, and a truly awful gag strip called ''One Cat and his Cod''. Like other Marvel UK contemporaries, the ThunderCats were embroiled in a scheme involving the Gwanzulums.
