The original series of Masters of the Universe action figures came packaged with a selection of small-size comics, spotlighting a number of characters (not necessarily the ones they were sold with) in short adventures. The minicomics were notable for a continuity slightly distinct from the later animated storyline, as they were produced earlier. Later comics were brought more in line with the 'primary' continuity.


Series One[]

Four minicomics were packaged with the initial wave of toys in 1982, written by Donald F. Glut and illustrated by Alfredo Alcala.

Series Two[]

Seven minicomics were packaged with the second wave of toys in 1983. Each of these was produced by DC Comics, written by Gary Cohn and illustrated by Mark Texeira and Tod Smith.

Series Three[]

Nine minicomics were packaged with the third wave of toys in 1984. It was at this point, that the minicomics would more closely follow the plots of the Filmation series.

Series Four[]

Ten minicomics were packaged with the fourth wave of toys in 1985.

Series Five[]

Thirteen minicomics were packaged with the fifth wave of toys in 1986.

Series Six[]

Six minicomics were packaged with the sixth wave of toys in 1987.

40th Anniversary[]

New Repints of the original two mini comics were included in a 40th Anniversary set with He-Man and Skeletor.
