Reviews
Frazer Irving's artwork takes center stage in this look at the
creation of Skeletor. Being the ruler of Eternia is no easy task,
especially when the throne is in the cross-hairs of the person who
would be Skeletor.
A half blood prince who as deserving as he believes himself to be,
will never be seen as a true heir, and therefore is forced to do what
he must. For anything else but being King of Eternia would be
unsatisfactory for our hero.
Told in a parallel flashback the rise the man who would be Skeletor,
Prince Keldor, is beautifully illustrated by Irving. By making good
use of Skeletor's hallmark skin-tone, he helps guide the reader
through not only the mans corruption, but also his physical corrosion.
You didn't think he was born with that face, did you?
The story of a jealous heir who gets reborn has been done quite a lot,
I'm looking at you Darth Vader, and this is no different, but the
visual of Skeletor fighting death makes it worth the trip.
