Way to state the obvious, Beast Man. With Skeletor being hung upside-down from Grayskull's window by his sworn enemies, I was only halfway sure about that trouble thing.
Oh -- on some years ago weekend at Point Pleasant in Jersey, my family and I ran into some well-known basketball player. Real nice guy. I can't remember his name, but he was about 40 feet tall and wearing a blazer, if that helps. Anyway, I got his autograph. Looks exactly like the kid's scribble on this page. Now I'm curious...did this book belong to an all-star 40' basketball player? Some coincidences are hard to believe. By the way, if you were standing atop Grayskull's left tower, you'd totally be able to see Skeletor's balls right now.
Jeez, Skeletor's just getting his ass handed to him all over the place in this story. If people with skull heads were fit for anything besides villainy, I bet he would've switched careers after this.
Okay, so why did the power sword vanish? My theory: the script called for the sword to be left inside the castle before He-Man pulled a Tea Party on Skeletor, but some idiot drew it falling out with him anyway. Hence the need to make it disappear in a blinding flash. Wait, excuse me -- a "flash of brilliance." Speaking of brilliance, the kid coloring this book has grown borderline cutting edge in his technique. The black serves to illustrate Skeletor's massive failure, while the purple creeps up because it just looks so damn pretty.
Beast Man has some hairy ass calves. Wonder if he's Italian?
Beast Man's swears of revenge are met with shock by He-Man. I'm shocked, too. And a little bit appalled. Not sure why. Maybe it's because He-Man didn't aim Skeletor at the obvious bush target shown in the lower right.
