Marvel Comics published twelve issues from 1990 to 1992, none of which have been reprinted since!
The last four issues featured serialized stories done by British-based comic creatives including Simon Furman and Bryan Hitch, originally-used in the MarvelUK version of the book, shown HERE.

Frank Welker as Suchi
All were ongoing cast members.
Guest voices in the pilot included...
Ed Asner as Hoggish Greedly
John Ratzenberger as Rigger
Whoopi would've been the second-biggest cast member if the original choice to voice Captain Planet hadn't bailed (for reasons unknown to this day)...
Tom Cruise!
