Grizzlor

Few corners of the Bronze Age feel quite as wildly imaginative as the Masters of the Universe universe, and Grizzlor is one of its more gloriously menacing presences — a creature of the Evil Horde who first lumbered onto the page in 1984, introduced by the veteran hand of Mike Sekowsky. Sharing adventures with the likes of the sinister Hordak, He-Man, and Teela across Dark Horse's vivid Eternia-set titles, Grizzlor even earned the rare distinction of a spotlight issue all his own in Masters of the Universe: Grizzlor: The Legend Comes Alive! A catalog spanning nearly three decades — from 1984 all the way to 2011 — speaks to the staying power of this corner of comics lore, and for collectors who love the era when toy-aisle mythology translated into genuinely enthusiastic four-color storytelling, Grizzlor is a wonderfully specific piece of that puzzle worth seeking out.
