How does the Transformation look to an outsider #2

In the past, I've talked about "How does the Transformation look to an outsider" in this blog-post.

Now let's take a look at how the comic by MVCreations handled it.

In Volume 2 (also known as "Dark Reflections") Issue #3 Stratos alerts King Randor that Avion is being affected by Mysterious Forces. Prince Adam volunteers to go and help but Randor asks him to locate He-Man instead.


So Prince Adam steps outside and we see that Teela is out on the balcony, when there appears lightning coming from between buildings and a crackling sound. Also note that while in the animated series the lightning was seen blue, here it is yellow.


Teela doesn't go and investivate the matter any further but steps inside.

The Transformation-sequence is a pivotal matter for most fans of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and whenever creators/producers try and view it from new and interesting angles, it helps flesh out this event.

The 2013 "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" comic by DC Comics Ongoing Series also addressed the matter of Transformation-sequence in their 1st issue but that is a different blog-post for a different time...

He-Man holding Graham Crackers logo...

When it comes to comicbooks, there are often variant-covers and even retailer-exclusives. With Masters of the Universe comic-series by MVCreations, they produced couple retailer incentives for Graham Crackers comicbook-store.


But besides the cover-arts, the penciller for the comic-series Emiliano Santalucia also provided some exclusive artwork for the store, largely due to Jimmy PS Hayes who is a big fan of MOTU and worked at the store at the time.

Below you can see a candid photo of He-Man holding above his head the Graham Crackers comicbook-store's logo.

What I personally like about the image is that it is still relatively early He-Man illustration from Emiliano Santalucia, before he honed his skills even further with depicting the character. It even seems like He-Man has a sheath for the Powersword, which was used in the Volume 1 mini-series of Masters of the Universe.
