The
Garden of Evil
(#3). September 1986.
Star Comics
Adam
and Orko are sparring when it begins to rain. They decide
to return home, but are stopped by Horde Troopers sent
by Hordak to bring He-Man to him. They go after Adam,
who tries to change into He-Man but is shot by a stun
beam before he can complete the incantation. The Troopers
take the Power Sword and he is brought back to Etheria,
where he is thought by Hordak to be He-Man's slave since
he carries the Power Sword. When Hordak tries to touch
it, it burns his hand. Orko and Cringer arrive to save
their friend, and Orko uses magic to give the sword
to Adam (since he can't touch it either, apparently)
while he is being tortured in the Slime Pit. He transforms
in the slime and shatters the device, then goes after
Hordak. Orko opens a portal in front of He-Man and Battle
Cat just as they get ready to attack Hordak and the
Mantisaur, and they all arrive safely back on Eternia.
