DC Comics Presents was one of my favorite titles growing up, and I tried never to miss an issue when they hit the newsstands. My patience was tried when Superman shared an issue with The Masters of The Universe, a property that was completely unknown to me at the time. Why was some toy tie in taking up space when the Man of Steel could have been meeting Ragman, Wildcat, The Haunted Tank, or some other DC mainstay that the series had not featured yet? Little did I know what a phenomenon MOTU would become in later years. Hmmm, I still have that issue filed away, I wonder if the first comics appearance of He-Man et al has gone up in value?
If this scene seems familiar its because it is - I started this cover in STF # 3020, and forgot I completed it - consider this a "5 seconds later" image! I gotta start taking better notes!
These two first met in STF #1777...

I think I'll consider this a "time loop" story, with only He-Man aware of the repeat. All it'd need would be a thought balloon: "Wait -- again? What's happening?"
Get used to those "brain, er, hiccups".
It would seem that Mr. Carr's sleight of fingers, @STF #3211, had an unexpected side-effect. Oh, Snap!
I sold a 4.5 copy for 40 bucks, so yea, it's gone up.
If this cover came out one day earlier, we would have thought it was deliberately done for Groundhog Day!
Bill Murray probably prevented that.
I remember the Mopping up gorillas for breakfast letter to the book B-I-D. Homie had a bruised ego that HE-Man was superior in Power to Clark/Kal-El.
Superior in strength, maybe. Superior in swordsmanship, definitely. But, He-man left a lot to be desired in the flying and super-peeper departments.
@Anonymous: hey! Not even He-Man is perfect.
