Masters of the Universe #11

Published under Marvel's Star Comics imprint in January 1988, this issue drops He-Man and a purple-armored adversary into a desperate, coiling struggle — both warriors are caught in the crushing grip of an enormous green serpent, its massive jaws spread wide around them as what appears to be a coliseum crowd watches in the background. The cover by penciler Tom Morgan and inker Danny Bulanadi makes the most of that chaotic energy, with He-Man's shield and sword barely in reach as the beast tightens its hold. With a story titled "Whose Enemy Am I Anyway?", this issue promises some interesting complications in the battle lines of Eternia.
