He-Man And The Masters of Their Own Domain
Gallery 1988's latest exhibit, titled "Under the Influence: He-Man and the Masters of the Universe," actually makes me interested in watching the '80s cartoon again and I really didn't think much of it the first time around.
I'm impressed that Mattel, who partnered with the gallery, was open to letting artists reinterpret the cartoon. More companies should be that creative, even if it means showing how Skeletor makes money on the side. (Above, Johnny Sampson's "Cosmo Skeletor")
Before we met them at Castle Greyskull they all attended Eternia High where Prince Adam was a loudmouthed jock, as I had always suspected. Now we know where the feud began. (Above: LOUD-TREE's "Prince Adam Is A Jerk")
Just because you are skeletal doesn't mean you don't have to take care of your teeth and bones. (Above: Kiersten Essenpreis "Skeletor Gets A Root Canal")
