About the series
In 1986, Mattel expanded its Masters of the Universe mythos with this single-issue comic, written by Steven Grant and drawn by a very early-career Bruce Timm. It pits He-Man against the serpentine King Hssss, a villain who would later loom large in the franchise's lore. Though brief, the issue is a key artifact of the franchise's mid-80s heyday, showcasing Timm's dynamic, angular style before he became an animation legend.
