The series guide was given to channels wanting to pick up the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe series. Like the Series Bible it contains lots of character histories, early conceptual drawings, and episodes that were never made.

A series guide?

After Michael Halperin had written the Masters of the Universe series bible back in December of 1982, Filmation put together this book, which outlines both the characters and the fascinating mythology of the series. The book is a more polished, succinct version of the series bible, and is equally as fascinating. This series guide was given to stations that wanted to pick up the animated series, and in some circumstances, freelance writers wanting to write for the series.

What's in the guide?

Read it. Next to the original series bible this is the most intense and important reading you will ever do from the Masters of the Universe canon. It reveals in some depth the characteristics of the cast, and more importantly in some cases it reveals parts of their origins that until now were unheard of. How and where did Teela meet He-Man? This question along with many others is answered in this expansion of the original series bible. This guide also reveals the earliest ideas for episodes in production, some of which never that never saw the light of day, and others that did, but were changed drastically.

So what now?

Read it!! This is another fascinating, eye-opening piece of literature you can read about He-Man. It's certainly worth it. Expand on what you have read from the series bible.
