A while back I wrote about the primal influence exerted by He-Man on my imagination to this day. There’s something about its everything-and-the-kitchen-sink approach to constructing genre entertainment for children that makes me think “Why can’t genre entertainment for grown-ups be like that, too?” Its magpie aesthetic is reflected in a lot of the art I enjoy these days, from David Bowie to Grant Morrison.
Anyway, over at the day job, ToyFare has posted a selection of He-Man pin-up posters created by various comic book artists for a He-Man DVD release–such as the portrait of Skeletor and his minions by Dan Brereton you see above–and immediately upon seeing them I was reminded of just how much I dig Eternia. Go check it out.
