The Surprising History of He-Man Comics


I have a new article up at
 Comics Alliance about the surprisingly great old Masters of the Universe comics. The books are light on plot, but featured some premier artists like Alfredo Alcala, Curt Swan, and Bruce Timm.  I also break down my favorite comic of all time in which Superman is transported to Eternia:

“Growing up, this comic lumbered through the realm of myth and folklore like a popculture Sasquatch, balancing precariously between "too good to be true” and “too awesome to not exist”. In second grade, a friend told me his older brother’s best friend had a comic where He-Man fought Superman, but he might as well have told me Indiana Jones once battled Darth Vader or Marty McFly had joined the Ghostbusters, the prospect was just too fantastical to believe.“
