*A series of licensed comics, published in the late 1980s by [[Blackthorne Publishing]] under the ''BattleTech'' and ''BattleForce'' monikers. The BattleTech comics included an "annual" and a "3-D" special issue, while the third of the three-issue BattleForce comic was left unpublished. The comics are not officially dated, but due to real-life publication date and plot context, speculation suggests that setting is circa 3025.
