From the collection of: Lee Sullivan
Owner's website: www.leesullivan.co.uk
Notes of Interest: This beautiful painting was created by UK artist Lee Sullivan (best known to ThunderCats fans as the cover artist for Issue #1 of the UK ThunderCats comic), for use as the front cover of a UK magazine published at roughly the same time as the comic - Lee believes that the magazine was titled "C&VG", which stood for "Computer and Video Games". At the present time it's not known why this magazine chose to feature this image of Lion-O and Mumm-Ra on its front cover, and sadly with the passing of almost 20 years since he created it Lee is unable to remember anything else about it. Nonetheless, this is a gorgeous piece, and a rare example from the 1980s of ThunderCats comic-related artwork that was actually painted rather than just drawn. This image was donated to us by Lee himself, and he was kind enough to send us a very detailed scan - click on the image above to view a larger version!
