Man-E-Faces

Few characters can claim a debut as dramatic as Man-E-Faces, who burst onto the Bronze Age comics scene in 1983 with his very own spotlight issue — The Ordeal of Man-E-Faces! — brought to life by writer Gary Cohn and artist Mark Texeira for World Distributors. That kind of headlining entrance speaks volumes, and over a publishing span stretching all the way to 2020, this Masters of the Universe figure has kept remarkable company, sharing pages with He-Man, Skeletor, Teela, Man-at-Arms, and Prince Adam across titles like Masters of the Universe Annual and The Powers of Grayskull. His catalog appearances may be select rather than sprawling, but for collectors who love the rich, toy-tied mythology of Eternia, Man-E-Faces is a genuinely distinctive piece of that world's Bronze Age foundation worth tracking down.
