Buzz Lightyear of Star Command comics were serialized in five issues of Disney Adventures between 2000 and 2001, 15 issues of Disney's Comic published by BBC Magazines between 2002 and 2004, and ten issues in the series Buzz published by Disney Italia between 2004 and 2005.
Disney Adventures[]
Five comics appeared in Disney Adventures, the now defunct children's magazine, between 2000 and 2001. The comics varied in length, and the first time the show was featured in an issue (which just so happened to be the month "The Adventure Begins" was released on DVD and VHS) it included eight pages of character profiles and useful information.
The issues follow in chronological order along with the relevant scans.

Comic: The Emperor's New Throne! (8 pages, also featured on the DVD of "The Adventure Begins" and Disney's official website, and later reprinted in the Disney One Saturday Morning Adventures comic collection)
Plot: Based on Mira and Buzz's first meeting that was expanded on in "First Missions", this comic details how Zurg attacks Tangea and attempts to install himself as the new ruler. Buzz tries to thwart him and would have failed if it hadn't been for Mira's help, who aids him in bringing Zurg down and rescuing her father, King Nova. Inspired by Buzz's heroics, Mira decides to try out for the Space Rangers in the future.

October 2000[]
Comic: Monday, Monday! (6 pages, later reprinted in the Disney One Saturday Morning Adventures comic collection)
Plot: "Monday, Monday!" features the Evil Emperor Zurg's latest scheme to plummet the galaxy into chaos. With the use of a rare element called Calendarium, Zurg made sure that every day would be Monday. Buzz and XR corner Zurg and nearly risk not being able to defeat him due to a technicality, but XR ignores it and he and Buzz stop Zurg's evil scheme anyway.

April 2001[]
Comic: The Foolium Effect! (2 pages)
Plot: Buzz and Booster have just returned to Star Command from a mission to find that everyone is acting strangely. Commander Nebula fires Booster for following the rules and Mira spills her drink even though she's thirsty. Buzz suspects this may be the work of another rare element called Foolium. He destroys the element and all is back to normal, including a furious Nebula yelling at XR for a prank he committed earlier.

It turns out that Project G stands for Project Garbage and they launch Zurg into space with the trash.
