Masters of the Universe #1 (Marvel / Star Comics, 1986), CGC 9.0 (White Pages)
"I HAVE THE POWER!" 💪
Raise your swords, Eternians! This is the definitive 1986 debut of He-Man under the Marvel / Star Comics imprint. Featuring an iconic cover with He-Man, Skeletor, and Hordak, this high-grade copy is a must-have for any Master of the Universe.
About the Source Material: Created by Mattel to sell toys, Masters of the Universe exploded into a cultural phenomenon with the 1983 Filmation animated series. It introduced the world to Prince Adam, who transforms into He-Man to defend Castle Grayskull from Skeletor. The franchise defined the 80s, spawning billions in toy sales, a spin-off (She-Ra), and a live-action movie. This Star Comics run is beloved for its fun, action-packed storytelling that closely mirrored the tone of the cartoon.
Issue Summary: "The Coming of Hordak!" Eternia faces a double threat! In this collector's item first issue, the balance of power is shifted when a new evil arrives. Hordak, the ruthless leader of the Evil Horde (and Skeletor's former mentor), sets his sights on Eternia. He-Man must not only contend with his arch-nemesis Skeletor but also this terrifying new invader. The cover art perfectly captures this three-way conflict, featuring He-Man standing tall between the looming visages of the two villains.
