File card trumps cartoon and comics, but the comic tended to honor the file cards, whereas the cartoon just threw shit at the wall to see what sticks.
The only thing that really came from the cartoon and "stuck" was Snake Eyes getting a wolf in The MASS Device, which became a figure and a comic thing. I'd also add that the Sunbow series' voices stuck with us as fans. A lot of us admit to hearing the Sunbow voice-actors when reading the comics. |

I grew up with both. Zartan being my all time favorite character was very different in both media. While resourceful and crafty in the cartoon he was kind of a coward. While in the comic you could clearly see Hama was in love with the character, he developped him a lot, making him central to the whole mytho and at times he was almost too powerful. At the end of his first run, Hama had made Zartan clearly an anti hero.

Sunbow TV show.
I love the original comics, but the show has a much more consistent quality. With the exception of probably 3 or 4 episodes, the show maintains a serious amount of rewatchability. I also prefer the tone. The comics are a bit soapy at times for my taste, while the cartoon has a definite US military meets James Bond meets Indiana Jones vibe that's just pure, well-written fun. Third, I think the cartoon actually did a better job with the characters. Outside of the Snakes/Storm Shadow/Scarlett/Stalker stories, there's not a lot of characterization in the comics. In the cartoon, there's relationships, friendships, hatred, rivalries, arguments and character development all over the place. So yeah, I love the comics, but I love the show more. |

I liked the cartoon...until I discovered the comic. No contest and no looking back for kid me at that point.
