MASK Comic-Sonderheft

Condor's MASK Comic-Sonderheft launched in 1988 as a German-language series spinning out of the international toy-and-cartoon franchise, pitting the heroic Mobile Armored Strike Kommand against the criminal organization V.E.N.O.M. The eight-issue run balanced translated European material with original cover art, bringing the transforming vehicles and high-octane vehicular combat of the property to a dedicated German readership. While the series didn't achieve the same longevity as its American counterpart, it stands as a notable example of how global licensing adapted the brand for regional markets during the late-1980s action-figure boom.
