Masters of the Universe: The Terror Claws Strike!

In 1986, Mattel expanded the Masters of the Universe mythos with this single-issue comic, written by Tim Kilpin and featuring early, dynamic artwork by a young Bruce Timm. Tying into the toy line, it pits He-Man against Skeletor's latest weapon—the Terror Claws—in a standalone adventure that captures the era's bombastic, action-driven storytelling. A snapshot of the franchise's mid-80s peak, it's a notable early credit for Timm, who would go on to define the animated style of a generation.
