tcats bible

in 2004 I remember finding the thundercats bible online’ it had a deeper history of pre-destruction thundera among other details. Does anyone know if its still online or do any of you have the text of it

no, although that page is awesome.

i found it back in 2004 or so when i was reading an interview with Leonard Starr. the person who ran the site and did the interview had a link to the Thundercats bible which Leonard Starr provided for him and talked about in the interview. all i remember was that it discussed a lot of detail about Thundera, even had names for cities on Thundera (if i remember the capital was called Grimaldigrad?? or something like that). talked about universities on Thundera, and an older capital city, all sorts of info that could have potentially been included in the show.

i saved it, but that computer died years ago, and i went awhile without one. now i am back online and wanna read it again!

There’s this interview on Cheezey’s site, provided by jgauth1458@aol.com:

I bought copies of several scripts from him back in 2000 or so. Maybe he also had the bible, in addition to all those scripts? I feel like he would have told me, though, if he’d had other things to sell.

His website, thelastchance.com, seems to be all about his comic series “The Last Chance”… No signs of a link to the bible, even as far back as 2003 via the wayback machine.

I suppose you could contact him?

Yeah, cheeze had some unique materials which were signed by Starr, I believe, though I don’t think she had the entire bit scanned and available online. From what I know, she has since moved a few times and doesn’t know exactly where it might be among her stuff.

Other than that, I haven’t seen anything else like that online.

Chris here…

I know of a ThunderCats Series Bible that contained some information that never made it into the series - the one I know of specifically contained the original planned names for the ThunderCats, the only one of which I can remember being Lion-L (instead of Lion-O, obviously). So, it’s quite likely that what you remember seeing was this same document! :slight_smile:

The Series Bible I was aware of belonged to Cheezey, and she scanned it (in a trade, I believe) for somebody I was in contact with many years ago, a guy called David Matthews. David had a ThunderCats site planned that I was contributing to (if you go to the previously unpublished Larry Kenney text interview from the summer of 2000 that we have hosted here at this site, that’s from the work I was doing on David Matthews’ site), and he was acquiring material to host on his site - however, I believe he planned to just post up trivia excerpts from the Series Bible, rather than post up scans of the full Series Bible, because of potential legal ramifications from posting up the whole thing. I don’t recall the whole thing being available to access on Cheezey’s site…but, it’s so many years ago now, my memory may be playing tricks on me! :slight_smile:

(And just to add, if anybody wonders whatever happened to David’s planned TCats site…it never made it to publication.)

Take care… :slight_smile:

I checked cheeze’s site, and she seems to have the page down for reconstruction that had the signed script and bible thing on it. But yeah - she’s the only one I know of with this item, and it wasn’t on her site in full before.

The other thing that would be interesting to see would be the season two synopsis and morals - I’ve heard that it exists, just don’t know who actually has it. There’s so few official season two stuff out there, that’d be a real treat to see.
