No wonder he looks so cross! It must have been agony, waxing his arms and torso.

“Commander! There’s a lone furry standing on the plaza armed with a bionic hand and a broadsword — and we’ve only got fifty laser rifles, napalm, and a particle cannon to defend ourselves! What’ll we do??”
“There’s no use, men — we’ve got to use the Flaz Gaz heat ray.”

But seriously now — I do hope that fur is inflammable. Because otherwise all those legions of cat-men would be the wussiest fighters in the galaxy…

Uh-oh… is he opening his mouth to… sing??

Love a cover that has a “Spot the Celebrity” component to it. Tourist guy in the distance – Keanu Reeves.

He’s evidently guarding his giant ‘shroom.
If the nearest rebellion is “beyond the stars”, he doesn’t have much to worry about: “beyond the stars” is a looooooong way away, and it will take the rebels hundreds of thousands of years to get here. Or there. Wherever Lawwnnuumm lives.
Cool font work!

Henceforth I would like to be referred to as Tom Noir, Lionman Commander.

Man I hate those guys at art galleries watching like a hawk just to tell you not to touch any works. They get rather angry at times.

Now I can say I’ve seen a cat on steroids.
April 4th, 2011 at 6:50 pm
Watch out, he’s having one of his ‘roid rages!

How did he get those tiny y-fronts on over those gigantic cat-thighs? I think the tightness of the pants explains the anguish on the face…

This Thundercats revival gets worse and worse.

Oh, I think this cover is wonderful! Mature lionman is obviously a relative of Rx for Chaos. Look how he bravely defends that, er, curiously-shaped (that’s it!) lava lamp!

His head is too small for his body.

And make the scabbard hang ‘just so’ for a phalic reference.

I really like it how the authors’ names are laid out. One kind of squashes the other.
“P. J. Beese and Todd Cameron Hamilton” – aka the author with the abbreviated name, and the author who makes up for that fact by taking up the rest of the space.
Probably not what they wanted, but hey, cover design is a challenging craft…

I was 9 years old in 1988 and I remember reading this book and just LOVING the cover.

He’s just some random drunk guy Shouting at no-one and swinging his weapon around at 4 in the morning. THe only other folks around are on their way to open up.

I think this is the one that always made my husband point out that the character is supposed to be albino.

Is “Ki” short for “ki-cat”? Like, “Ooh, wook at dat gweat big ki-cat?”
