DC Comics has announced the return of He-Man for the 30th anniversary of the fantasy warrior who was the star of an action figure line and animated series.

An all-new comic book series will begin in July, written by  James Robinson, with pencils by Phillip Tan and inks from Ruy Jose.  The six-issue limited series is a new take on the warrior, according to a release from DC.

Here’s how DC describes the book:

In the new series, Robinson reintroduces the Masters of the Universe® to comic readers with Skeletor having won a major victory and rewriting the world of Eternia where he now rules from Castle Grayskull and the Masters have no memory of their former glory. Adam is a simple woodsman haunted by dreams of a heroic warrior, wielding a powerful sword in battle. He is found by a mysterious sorceress who tells him his dreams are of the way the world should be, that he is Eternia’s champion He-Man. Adam sets off on a quest to regain his power and reawaken the Masters of the Universe.

Robinson is known for his award-winning “Starman” series.  He recently wrote “Justice League of America,” and is the writer of the upcoming “Earth 2″ for DC Comics.
