CHILDREN'S BOOKS • MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE

All entries are alphabetized by title and by series:

Although a short-lived animated series that only lasted two seasons, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983-1985) complimented a tidal wave of merchandising, from the popular action figures and related toys to a series of children's books. This science and sorcery series featured He-Man, a prince who moonlights as a musclebound superhero with the omnipotent Sword of Greyskull at his command. Accompanied by the wizard Orco, his faithful feline steed Battle Cat, and a host of other valiant do-gooders, He-Man spends much of his waking time foiling the nefarious plans of evil nemesis Skeletor and his hideous henchmen. This series--a collaboration produced by Filmation Associates and Mattel Inc.--was also responsible for a more girl-friendly spin-off, She-Ra, Princess of Power (1985-1987), which simply replaced the testosterone-fueled hero with his more buxom twin whilst adhering to the same formula. The original series also inspired a live-action film in 1987, which starred Dolph Lundgren, Frank Langella, Meg Foster, Billy Barty, and a young Courtney Cox. Due to its undying cult status, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe has been revived as a number of one-off animated specials since 1999, as well as being the inspiration for several new lines of toys in recent years.
