About the series
In 1982, Mattel expanded the Masters of the Universe mythos beyond toys and animation with this two-issue comic miniseries, written by Don Glut with art by Alfredo Alcala. The story pits He-Man and his allies—including Man-at-Arms and Battle Cat—against Skeletor and his minions Beast Man and Mer-Man in a direct, no-frills battle for Eternia. As an early licensed comic, it captures the raw, pre-cartoon tone of the franchise, offering fans a darker, pulpier take on the classic struggle between good and evil.
