Skeletor’s Dragon is a 1984 Masters of the
Universe mini-comic by Christy Marx, Peter Ledger, and Charles Simpson.
Here, Skeletor resurrects and enslaves the skeleton of an extinct monster, then
marches on the Royal Palace.
The title has a double meaning, as this comic prominently
features both Dragon Blaster Skeletor and Battle Bones. Toy plugging aside,
however, this is a quality story with some really good scenes, including He-Man
at the fair and Battle Bones’ story.
The art is solid, although the inks can be a little sloppy. The
backgrounds are great – when they get drawn. The layouts are excellent, and the
tug of war scene is a highlight. As far as continuity, we’ve made the
inexplicable move from the all-white Sorceress to the all-pink Sorceress, who
has a long run in the mini-comics.
Even with the obvious toy plugs, this is one of the best
stories we’ve seen in a mini-comic.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
