After decades of floating in our collective memories and in stunning YouTube mashups, the beloved ’80s cartoon series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is coming back. Well, sort of. It’s been announced that at San Diego Comic-Con this week a brand new episode of He-Man will be shown. Excitingly, the ep apparently features some of the same voice actors, including the original Skeletor Alan Oppenheimer.

For those unenlightened, the original He-Man series ran from 1983 to 1985, spawning comics and films (the original series was based on an action figure by Mattel, naturally). The show was fantastic in its terrific, vague eighties-ness: He-Man is a prince who is imbued with ‘secret’ abilities whenever he holds the ‘Sword of Power’ and proclaims: “By the Power of Grayskull!” His enemy is a muscly skeleton in a hood. It was the best.

Now it is time that we re-visit one of the best internets of all time, have a nice day.
