[Map of the Third Earth]

Rare six-part map showing the homeworld of the Thundercats.

“Nestled cozily in the centre-spread of this issue, you’ll find the first segment of a rather special pull-out poster. Week by week, as we follow the fortunes of our intrepid felines in the strip, you’ll be able to chart their progress across the troubled world of Third Earth. When issue 35 rolls around, you’ll have the complete MAP OF THIRD EARTH – quite possibly the largest free gift presented with any comic since the dawn of time!” – No. 35, pg. 1.

This group of six comic book centerfolds presents a large-scale overview of Third Earth, the refugee homeworld for the Thundercats. Various locations of interest encountered by the protagonists are illustrated and labeled, including Castle Plun-Darr, the Onyx Period of Mumm-Ra, and the Cats’ Lair. According to Thundercats canon, Third Earth is our present planet in the distant future, after a series of cataclysmic events totally change the landscape, and obviously, the inhabitants.

Likely illustrated by cover artist Kev Hopgood. Published in London by Marvel Comics Ltd. across six different issues (No. 30 – 35) in 1987.
