REVIEW: He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: The Newspaper Comic Strips

It is hard to believe that a line of toys could have as much impact as He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

He-Man Comic Strips: Day Of The Comet

BW begins the He-Man Comic Strips reviews with "Day Of The Comet"

The He-Man newspaper comic premiered on a Sunday with a quick explanation of the premise: Eternia is a world where both magic and science work together (oooh, imagine a storyline where a sorcerer hates science or a scientist hates magic, or both, and one is trying to expel the other from Eternia), that Adam is He-Man, and who shares that secret.

For the most part it was written by husband and wife team Chris Weber (writer) and Karen Willson (editor) and drawn by Gerald Forton. Connie Schurr colored the Sundays. It was popular globally until 2 years into its run when it was dropped in the USA from lack of popularity but continued in Europe and South America. It is seen as continuing the story from the Animated Cartoon which goes into an aging Man-at-Arms who meets his love and gets engaged to be married, Prince Adam understanding the boring responsibility of training to become a King, and a buddening romance between Teela and He-Man who actually kiss.

Interviews with the writer-editor team show that Mattel had to approve every script submitted by the Filmation creative team on these strips.
