Ok I've always liked the first 4 story comics of He-Man that came
with the figures, before the other
comics and before the cartoon.... This is one of
those comics that came with the first batch of He-Man Toys:
He-Man and the Power Sword
|
My Commentary:
OK, Here we have the
cave man He-man or even a Tarzan He-Man
Notice his name is already He-Man.
|
A mighty figure stood at the edge of the jungle that had, until this day, always been his home. He-Man, the tribe's greatest warrior, waved his farewell. He might have
preferred to stay, but he had a noble mission to accomplish.
"Evil forces exist on our planet Eternia," He-Man told
his people. "They seek to control the legendary Castle Grayskull, a place of wonders. If we are to know a lasting peace, I must go out and battle those forces.
Farewell."
|
Danger!
Don't raise your sword to turn into He-Man, just attack!
(No prince Adam!)
|
The outside world had long been a mystery to He-Man's tribe, although they had heard the fantastic tales about the mysterious Castle
Grayskull. He-Man was the first of his people to trudge these craggy cliffs and quake-torn
valleys. His homeland was already in the distant mists when he heard the cry for help.
Gazing Into the valley, He-Man saw that his courage and jungle-bred strength were already needed!
|
Look he is already
strong!
Get him He-man!
|
In a blur of bronze movement, He-Man leaped from the
cliff side and onto his shaggy foe. His powerful fingers dug deeply into the monster's hide. But He-Man was not
fighting this creature alone.
He-Man glimpsed the woman as she gestured
magically and attacked the creature with mystical bolts of force. "She is a sorceress!" he thought. But her magic hardly fazed the animal. The same could not be said of
He-Man's might.
|
This armor will make him stronger.
It's science, not magic
that makes him stronger. |
Defeated, the animal fled, while the Sorceress regained her breath. "Your strength.. . your
courage" she said, "mark you as the legendary hero who is to inherit the treasures I have guarded all these years. They were made centuries before the Great Wars by Eternia's
scientists"
Inside the ancient ruins, the Sorceress gave
He-Man the guarded costumes and weapons. "They will add to your strength.
Use them wisely - especially in defense of Castle Grayskull."
|
Wham!
The He-Man that I knew
and with my figures I would pretend with.
This guy is one cool dude!
Look close at the knife
in his right boot- just like the new jungle attack He-man 2002 - Too
cool!
|
Riding in the strange vehicle, which was a combination battering ram, catapult, and space-warp device- He-Man
set off again on his mission. A particular valley, still miles away from the castle, struck his fancy. This valley would serve as his new home and headquarters.
Wearing the costume that gave him superhuman strength, He-Man went to work carving out his new home
-using no tools other than the power in his fists.

Ok this is just the
first 5 pages of this comic, in total it has 24 pages.
