Next is a BEAUTIFUL illustration by the great Earl Norem of He-Man and Gwildor brandishing their weapons. Note that Gwildor's key here is colored almost exactly like the unreleased Cosmic Key toy!

Last, but certainly not least, is the fold-out poster from the issue: Another amazing Earl Norem painting, this time featuring He-Man battling Blade while many of the other movie characters look on! (I did my best to put this together after scanning it in 4 chunks... hope it looks okay!)
