Interview with one of the writers from the upcoming book:

TIM SEELEY has the Power of Grayskull in THE ART OF HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE
http://www.newsarama.com/23303-tim-seel ... verse.html

Newsarama: Tim, how’d the book come about?

Tim Seeley: This is definitely a dream project for me. We were talking to Dark Horse after we did the mini-comics that came with the Masters of the Universe Classics figures.

It took a few years to get it all set up, but when Mattel agreed to it, I jumped at it – everyone who knows me knows I’m a big He-Man fan, and this was a great chance – doing interviews, writing the text, and generally putting the book together.

And I wanted my brother Steve involved, because I have a lot on my plate, and I knew he’d be a huge joy to work with – just two guys who’ve loved He-Man since we were kids. It was like everything came full circle.

Nrama: And I understand you did some interviews for this –

Seeley: We did a lot of interviews, actually. We called a lot of people associated with Masters of the Universe to get their take on the property – Earl Norem, Erika Scheimer, whose father Lou was behind Filmation – Steven Grant, Larry Houston, even Dolph Lundgren from the movie.

Nrama: Did you ever find out about the connection between Jack Kirby and the movie?

Seeley: Yeah, we talked to Gary Goddard, the director of the film, and he said he actually wanted to bring Jack on, and he was too busy. But when the other people on the film came on – including Moebius – they were looking at Jack’s work for inspiration on their designs, the cosmic stuff.

And the story, of He-Man coming to Earth – done for budgetary reasons! – it’s very much a Fourth World story, Orion and Darkseid coming to Earth. Gary Goddard was a big Kirby collector, and Jack’s influence was a big part of that movie.

Nrama: Yeah, I remember reading John Byrne’s Next Men and Byrne said in a letter column that Masters of the Universe was his favorite Kirby movie, and pointed out all the similarities, and then it was Goddard or someone else from the film wrote in a few issues later and said, “Yeah, we did that on purpose!”

Seeley: We looked really closely to see if any Kirby art is in that film. Couldn’t find it! But you see the influence in that film, that sort of approach to big and cosmic and iconic. I think maybe the most Kirby design is the “God Skeletor” with the gold armor.

Nrama: Ah yes, with what I call “Mad-Phat Giant Headgear.” I wish they could make a figure of that, but likeness rights…!

Seeley: I like the movie a lot. It’s goofy, but it’s got a lot of amazing design and is fun.
