Catra, Clawdeen, and the moon.

"Spirit is kidnapped", the She-Ra Ladybird book, features a lot of beautiful artwork by Robin Davies. Here is yet another piece, with Catra riding Clawdeen, whom amusingly was drawn without the mane that the character often sported.

Orko's comic strip #2

Almost every issue of the UK Masters of the Universe comic featured an Orko comic strip on the inside front cover. As this Blog continues I will try and feature all of them for your amusement. Here I present the "Orko the Magician" comic strip from issue two. This may quality as the quickest defeat of Skeletor ever!

Adora and Glimmer by Senior.

Once again, here we have another illustration by Geoff Senior from the She-Ra Ladybird book "Catra's Ice Palace". This illustration like previous entries show that while Geoff Senior may have been the greatest artist on the UK Transformers comic, his artwork was not best suited for She-Ra. Seriously, if you ever get the chance, check out his Transformers artwork. This guy knew how to draw robots better than any other artist!

Jitsu attacks Fisto #2

I was always a big fan of the Masters of the Universe minicomic "The Clash of Arms" because I think it was an unapologetically action-packed story! The only downside of this minicomic is that because it featured many new characters, it was packaged with many of the figures; even figures that were not in the story! This panel is one of my favorites from the story with Fisto and Jitsu engaging in some hand to hand combat...

Jitsu attacks Fisto #1

The Masters of the Universe minicomic "The Clash of Arms" was notable for its highlighting of the new characters Fisto and Jitsu, both of whom had a similar gimmick. Not only did it feature these two, but Stridor, Clawful, Webstor and Whiplash all made their minicomic debuts in this action-packed story.

Orko's comic strip #13

Almost every issue of the UK Masters of the Universe comic featured an Orko comic strip on the inside front cover. As this Blog continues I will try and feature all of them for your amusement. Here I present the "Orko the Magician" comic strip from issue thirteen. Here we see quite possibly the cutest dragons ever to grace Eternia.

He-Man and Stridor montage.

Here is a good-looking piece illustrated by Robin Davies from the one-shot Ladybird Masters of the Universe annual. This montage featuring He-Man and Stridor appeared in "The Curse of Crystal Mountain" story. I feel somewhat sorry for Battle Cat who looks quite sad at being left behind in the first illustration. There is a similarity here to the episode "Origin of the Sorceress" from season two, in which Battle Cat is left behind as He-Man begins an adventure with Stridor.

Orko's comic strip #44

Almost every issue of the UK Masters of the Universe comic featured an Orko comic strip on the inside front cover. As this Blog continues I will try and feature all of them for your amusement. Here I present the "Orko the Magician" comic strip from issue forty-four. The second panel in this strip always makes me chuckle, given the scale of Orko and his surroundings.

"Altered States" #6

Here are the last three pages of "Altered States" from issue six of the Masters of the Universe Adventure magazine. He-Man's comical body transformations make sense. Though it has to be said that the writer of this strip wrote a very convoluted sequence of events in order for the heroes to learn of Orko's location!

Bounding through the snow...

"Catra's Ice Palace", the She-Ra Ladybird book illustrated by the greatest artist of the UK Transformers comic, Geoff Senior, features this nice illustration of Catra and Clawdeen. What I like about this image is the low angle Geoff Senior uses to showcase the characters.
