A Legend Reborn
Originally created by Steve Gerber and Jack Kirby for Ruby-Spears Productions, Thundarr the Barbarian aired from 1980 to 1982 and became one of the most beloved Saturday morning cartoons of its era. Dynamite Entertainment's revival brings this iconic property to a new generation while honoring everything that made the original so special — the wild world-building, the unforgettable characters, and the pure, uncut adventure. Michael Cho's clean, expressive cover art is a love letter to the show's classic aesthetic.
⚔️ Fun Fact: Thundarr the Barbarian was partly designed by legendary comics artist Alex Toth and featured story contributions from Jack Kirby — making it one of the most comics-pedigreed animated series in Saturday morning history. It was basically a Jack Kirby comic that somehow ended up on TV.
CVR (Cover)CVR A: The Standard Edition. This is the primary artwork found in most retail shops.
CVR B (and beyond): The Variant Edition. "B" is the first alternative cover, followed by C, D, and so on. These are often produced in smaller quantities than Cover A.
VAR (Variant)Definition: Short for Variant.Purpose: A general label confirming the book is an alternative cover option rather than the standard retail edition. These are often used to showcase guest artists or celebrate special milestones.
CARD STOCK Material: A thicker, stiffer, and more premium paper (similar to a business card).Benefits: Highly durable and resistant to "spine ticks" (small structural cracks) or corner bending.
Standard covers use thin, glossy paper; Card Stock is the "deluxe" physical upgrade.
FOIL (Foil Variant)Effect: A special edition where parts (or all) of the cover are printed with metallic, reflective foil.
Visuals: Provides a shimmering, high-end look that catches the light. These are typically priced higher and sought after for their "shelf appeal."
Artist Name (Variant Credit)Context: Usually follows the "CVR" designation (e.g., CVR B - Jimenez).
Collectability: Many collectors buy books specifically for the cover artist. A "Store Variant" or "Ratio Variant" is often defined by the prestige of the artist involved.
New Releases: Sold direct-from-distributor. While handled with care, we do not guarantee specific numerical grades or "mint" condition.
Back Issues: Sold As-Is.
