Masters of the Universe: He-Man and the Insect People

In 1984, Mattel expanded its Masters of the Universe mythos with a single-issue comic, He-Man and the Insect People, written by Michael Halperin with art by Alfredo Alcala. This one-shot pits He-Man against a new threat from the insectoid inhabitants of the jungle world, adding a fresh corner to Eternia's lore. While a brief entry, it stands as a distinct, early tie-in that showcases the franchise's willingness to introduce original adversaries beyond the core Skeletor rogues' gallery.
