He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Magazine #13 is the Winter 1988 issue. This one’s still prominently featuring characters from the movie (the ones with toys, I mean).
The Captain Power
ads are really getting hot and heavy. We’ve got a spotlight on, surprisingly,
the currently-relevant (at least sort of) Jason Bateman, although it features
the never-relevant Teen Wolf Too. Make
your own relevance joke about the Tony Danza spot on the facing page.
In this issue’s comic story, “Time Trap,” which also
includes She-Ra (she’s also got the usual three-page story, plus too many items
in the trivia challenge), Blade and Saurod are now slumming for Hordak, Gwildor
uses the Cosmic Key to do penny-ante magic, and Hordak travels into the future
why, exactly?
This issue’s non-He-Man-related content features spotlights
on various Winter Olympians you probably don’t remember (like the vast majority
of Olympians of all years and seasons). There’s also a non-He-Man activity here
(which is pretty neat, actually – but think how much neater it would be if it
were He-Man). Otherwise, the activities aren’t very impressive (two mazes?).
No poster in this issue (not even of the cover); instead, we get some painted gift
wrap with some rather amusing scenes on it.
