ThunderCats
ThunderCats is a media franchise, featuring a fictional group of cat-like humanoid aliens. The characters were created by Tobin Wolf and featured in an animated television series named ThunderCats, running from 1985 to 1989, which was animated by Japanese studio Pacific Animation Corporation, and co-produced by Rankin/Bass Productions.
Like its predecessor Masters of the Universe, the ThunderCats franchise simultaneously launched as a line of action figures produced by LJN and as a syndicated after-school weekday cartoon.
The original ThunderCats show was animated in Japan while being produced, written and voice acted in the United States.
The series was distributed by Rankin/Bass Productions' then-parent company Telepictures, which would later merge with Lorimar Television in February 1986. In January 1989, Lorimar-Telepictures was purchased by and folded into Warner Bros., whose television syndication arm would eventually assume distribution of the show; Warner Bros. has owned the rights to the series (and all Lorimar-Telepictures programming) from that point on.
There were also several comic book series produced. A ThunderCats comic book series based on the animated series was published by Marvel Comics through its Star Comics imprint in 1985, lasting for three years and twenty-four issues. During this time in a eponymous television series was published by Marvel UK consisting of 129 issues and was also published for three years.
Beginning in 2002, ThunderCats titles were published by Wildstorm Productions, an imprint of DC Comics (Warner Bros. corporate sibling), and included five non-canon miniseries and several one shots.
In March 2012, Panini Comics began publishing a new series in the United Kingdom to tie-in with the television series of 2011, titled ThunderCats Magazine. The first issue featured a strip called Safe Haven which was written by Ferg Handley and drawn by Cosmo White. Each issue also included additional features, such as character profiles, puzzles, a reader art page and a poster.
In February 2024 Dynamite Entertainment announced plans to publish a new ThunderCats series written by Declan Shalvey and drawn by Drew Moss. In April 2024, Dynamite announced a spinoff series focusing on Cheetara.
