This series made several adjustments to the story, establishing the existence of the kingdom of Eternia, ruled over by King Randor (called King Miro in early appearances) and Queen Marlena. This was followed by a Masters Of The Universe limited series the following month sold separately on newsstands. DC Comics limited series (1982)ĭC Comics published a special insert which appeared in several comic books cover dated November 1982. To distinguish these stories from the TV cartoon-influenced minicomics that were released to tie-in with the TV series, fans dubbed this first version of Eternia as 'mini-Eternia', and the two words were fused into ' Mineternia' in 2003, by a minicomics fansite, called Eternia Minor (now, He-Man Tales). He-Man has been given the other half by The Sorceress, and must prevent Skeletor from linking the two halves to gain access to the castle. Skeletor manages to find one half of the Power Sword, a great weapon which is itself the key to Castle Grayskull. He-Man is supported by several heroic allies, such as Man-At-Arms, the Eternian master of weapons, and Teela, the adopted daughter of Man-At-Arms. To prevent Skeletor from achieving his goal, He-Man has been given special powers and weapons by The Sorceress (referred to as 'The Goddess' in early stories, except in her debut appearance in which she is shown, the one and only time, to have green skin) and sets out to defend the castle from Skeletor. Whoever attains control of Grayskull will gain the power to become Master of the Universe. The events of the Great War opened a rift between dimensions, which allows the evil warlord Skeletor to travel to Eternia, and he has now set his sights on the ancient Castle Grayskull, the 'fortress of mystery and power'. In the earliest comics, He-Man is a wandering barbarian on Eternia, a world dealing with the aftermath of a Great War that has devastated the civilizations that once reigned, but has left behind fantastical machinery and weapons. Publication history Mineternia: the original mini-comics (1981–1983)Īll of the original action figures came with minicomics that told stories involving the characters.
