From 2002 to 2005 Image Comics and MVCreations published several series of comics and one-shots that mirrored tales of the 2002 Mike Young Productions show; the comic series elaborated and added to the mythos by introducing characters that never made it in after the 39 episodes of the television series. The first issues were seen in the summer of 2002 in the form of special promotional/preview issues, with three mini-series continuing on after; ‘The Shards of Darkness’ in fall 2002, followed by ‘Dark Reflections’ and ‘Rise of the Snake Men’ in 2003. After delving into the back-stories of Skeletor’s henchmen Beast-Man, Mer-Man, Trap-Jaw and Tri-Klops in a four issue ‘Icons of Evil’ series, a short-lived ongoing series, solely produced by MVC, continued on for eight issues in 2004. Along with these, a handful of special or ‘pack-in’ one-shots and trade paperback collected volumes were also produced.
