Blending science-fiction with sword-and-sorcery, Masters of the Universe remains at powerful pop culture franchise after four decades. From animation to comics and an upcoming feature film, fans of He-Man and She-Ra have enjoyed a plethora of adaptations. Now, the hero Andra, popularized in the 2021 Revelations series, is receiving her own one-shot comic.
Masters of the Universe: Andra is set between the first and second seasons of the recent animated adaptation. Written by actor Tiffany Smith, who voiced Andra in the show, the story finds her struggling in her new role as Man-At-Arms of Eternia. However, she and the cadets under her command will soon be tested by the sinister sorcerer Count Marzo.
The one-shot comic will feature artwork by Eisner Award-winning artist Adriana Melo. Masters the Universe: Andra will also feature variant covers by Skylar Patridge and Nate Baertsch. ComingSoon.net is proud to premiere the Nate Baertsch cover, seen below.
Andra’s roots in the Masters of the Universe comics
Masters of the Universe: Andra marks an odd sort of homecoming for the new Man-At-Arms. While now best known for her animated incarnation, Andra was originally created as a comic book character. The first incarnation of Andra premiered in Star Comics’ Masters of the Universe #9 in 1987. She was introduced as a childhood friend of Teela, who was recently promoted to Lieutenant in the Eternian army.
Andra’s first appearance was also her largest one. She spent most of the issue trying to protect Prince Adam during a terrorist attack and inadvertently stopping him from transforming into He-Man. Subsequently, she appeared two more times fighting alongside Teela, before the series came to a close. After that, Andra was only ever referenced in the biography of the evil warrior Karg on the back of his 2018 action figure. Reportedly Karg became obsessed with her, before she banished him to to Prison Starr.
Masters of the Universe: Andra #1 arrives in comic shops everywhere on September 17, 2025.
