Disclose Notes: This reprint has several color changes from the original printing in Masters of the Universe: The Shard of Darkness (CrossGen, 2003 series). The background is white and blue instead of black, the text is black with a white border instead of white with a black border, and illustrations of Castle Grayskull, Palace of Eternia, and Snake Mountain are colored vibrantly rather than shades of blue.
