Wildcat

Wildcat was a short lived title published fortnightly by Fleetway between 22nd October 1988 and 25th March 1989 (there was also a free Wildcat mini-comic given away with 200oAD, Eagle and Whizzer and Chips the week before the launch). The title strip concerned the adventures of Turbo Jones and his crew on the spaceship Wildcat as they explored space looking for a new home for the survivors of a doomed Earth. The title lasted just twelve issues before being merged with Eagle two weeks after the final issue, the first merged issue being Eagle #368. All four of Wildcat's main stories continued in Eagle on a rotating basis. Two Specials, a Wildcat Holiday Special and a Wildcat Winter Special, were both published in 1989, and the Turbo Jones: Pathfinder and Loner strips were both reprinted by Quality, Loner as a seven issue mini-series and Turbo Jones as a one-shot
