Eleven Tales of Mineternia. ⇒

   23 October 2012, late morning

Mineternia is a word that refers to the Eternia of the first eleven minicomics, which were packaged with the Masters toys between 1982 and 1983. It is a world that predates the five-issue DC Comics comic book series, in which the Adam / He-Man dual identity was introduced, and the Filmation cartoon that followed. The comics, listed below, were also published by DC Comics. However, after 1984, all other minicomics were produced solely by Mattel and were loyal, in content and tone, to the classic TV cartoon. The Pre-Classic minicomics weren’t Shakespeare (and were never intended to be), but, they had an enigmatic power unrivalled by any interpretation of He-Man to date — a power that lured us all into the world of mini-Eternia.

Suffice it to say, this is amazing. I have the vaguest of memories of these comics.

Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
