ThunderCats #2 (Marvel / Star Comics, 1986), CGC 9.6 (White Pages)
"Mutants of Plun-Darr!" 🦎
The saga continues in pristine condition! While Issue #1 set the stage, ThunderCats #2 brings the action. This copy is a stunning, high-grade example of the Star Comics run, preserving the vibrant colors and excitement of the 1986 release.
About the Source Material: ThunderCats, produced by Rankin/Bass, was a landmark in 80s animation. While Lion-O and the ThunderCats were the heroes, the show was defined just as much by its villains. The Mutants of Plun-Darr—Slithe, Monkian, Jackalman, and Vultureman—provided the perfect foil to the noble cats. Their grotesque designs and bickering dynamic made every encounter on Third Earth memorable, driving the toy line sales just as much as the heroes did.
Issue Summary: "Calling All Mutants!" With the ThunderCats crash-landed on Third Earth, they aren't the only ones trying to survive. This issue focuses heavily on the Mutants of Plun-Darr as they track their enemies to the new planet. The cover art captures the intensity of this early conflict, featuring Lion-O, WilyKit, and WilyKat in a desperate battle against Slithe and his mutant army. It establishes the ongoing war for the Eye of Thundera that would span the entire series.
