I am Adam, prince of Eternia and defender of the secrets of Castle Greyskull. This is Cringer, my fearless friend. Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic sword and said, “By the power of Greyskull! I have the power!” Cringer became the mighty Battle Cat, and I became He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe! Only three others share this secret — our friends, the Sorceress, Man-at-Arms, and Orko. Together we defend Castle Greyskull from the evil forces of Skeletor.
In case you haven’t figured it out, the text above is the opening monologue from He-Man: Masters of the Universe. Back in my youthful days, I like so many others, was a He-Man-aholic. I had Castle Greyskull, Snake Mountain, and more than 3 dozen collectible characters ranging from Clawful to Triklops, Teela and many others. I’ve long since forgotten about He-Man, although the mythology behind the series has stayed with me, and been the inspiration for many others. Take for instance all this awesome He-Man art we’re featuring today. It’s all part of a massive collection recently exhibited by Gallery 1988. Take a look for more awesomeness straight from pages of Eternia.
