To
Tempt the Gods
(1 of 3) December 1982.
DC Comics
During
a festival celebrating the coming of Marlena from Earth
25 years ago, Adam encounters demons sent by Skeletor.
Rushing to the Cave of Power, he discovers that Skeletor,
not the Goddess, waits for him. He-Man learns that Skeletor
has captured the Goddess and in exchange requires three
magic amulets representing the sea, the sky, and the
cosmos. He intends to use these three amulets to find
both halves of the Sword of Power (as He-Man doesn't
yet have it). They soon discover that another is on
the trail, as demons attacked the wizard Tarrak, taking
the cosmos talisman. Meanwhile, the beastmen attack
the city of Avion, searching for Stratos. He escapes
into the air, only to be followed by the beastmen on
dragons, but Tarrak causes him to become invisible and
he escapes. Once Stratos lands, He-Man notices his necklace
-- the sky amulet!
