An ancient and powerful artifact must be recovered and delivered to Grayskull before Skeletor takes possession of it. What if a Masters of the Universe story appeared as a serial in "Weird Tales" back in the 1930's? I wrote the bulk of this story in 2009 - 2012 (and completed the final two chapters in 2022) as an experiment along just those lines: a MOTU adventure in the style of Robert E. Howard, of whose works the MOTU franchise has always been derivative. Those early minicomics, beautifully illustrated by Alfredo Alcala and Mark Texiera, captivated my youthful imagination and led to my eventual love of prewar American pulp fiction. This story draws mostly on that canon, with some Filmation elements as well.
