Orko
the Magician
At last! A mildly funny Orko strip after months of totally
bland ones! This one features Orko rushing to the library
to get a book on how to improve your memory back- only
to find that he had forgotten the library was closed
today!

Story 1: "The Sword of Doom"
The moons of Eternia are soon to align, and during the
fateful hours, whoever gains the Klingsor, the sword
of doom, will gain the same mystic powers as He-Man.
Knowing that Skeletor and Hordak will go after the sword,
He-Man and Orko set out to beat them to it! Skeletor
and Hordak are indeed out to find the sword, together
with their armies, and when they meet, they begin a
tremendous fight! (cont'd in next part)
Master
Mail
Some interesting letters in the Master Mail this fortnight...
Scott Calwood asks if Horde Prime has a master or is
he the ruler of all evil forces- the answer is that
currently he has no master, and Andy Watson asks if
Tung Lashor and Rattlor ever served Hordak- but the
response ignores the cartoon and mini-comics and states
that they never served Hordak.

Story 2: "The Sword of Doom", Cont'd
Hordak and Skeletor decide to stop fighting, they have
more chance of beating He-Man to the sword if they work
together. When crossing a bridge, it collapses and Hordak
falls- but Skeletor has no choice but to save him, knowing
he needs Hordak's help to get past the obstacles in
the way of the Sword of Doom. They leave their armies
to wait until they return, and move onwards. He-Man
and Orko are also moving on, and eventually they find
the crystal shrine, where the sword lies! (cont'd in
next part)
Feature
Story 3: "The Sword of Doom", Cont'd
He-Man and Orko enter the crystal shrine, but Skeletor
and Hordak are already there! So He-Man uses a blast
from his sword to distract them, and they stop, confused,
as He-Man rushes over and seizes the Klingsor. Just
then, a stone slab from above begins to fall towards
He-Man, but Orko casts a spell which causes it to miss
its mark. But as it hits the ground, He-Man drops the
sword- and Skeletor and Hordak leap towards it! Quickly,
He-Man raises his sword in the air, and brings it crashing
down on the sword of doom, shattering it at once. Skeletor
and Hordak flee, and He-Man and Orko return home. King
Randor congratulates them for doing so well on their
mission.
