Masters of the Universe

The 2003 Masters of the Universe series from Dino Verlag is a five-issue German comic that faithfully adapts the tone and lore of the classic 1980s franchise. Published during the early 2000s revival of the property, this run is most associated with its clean, energetic artwork and its focus on the eternal conflict between He-Man and Skeletor on Eternia. It matters as a compact, visually striking entry that brought the sword-and-sorcery world to a new generation of European readers.
