==Appearances== ===Pre-Filmation minicomics ("savage Eternia")=== The first minicomics that accompanied the 1981–1983 line of Masters of the Universe toys presented the earliest version of continuity, which had several differences from the continuity of the Filmation cartoon and the minicomics that complemented it. He-Man was depicted as the champion of a tribe of stone-age jungle-dwellers, and there was no royal court of Eternia, King Randor, Queen Marlena, or Prince Adam.
