Blackstar
Animated Series
Blackstar Animated Series is a science fantasy story sometimes reported as being inspired by Thundarr the Barbarian and was produced in 1981 by Lou Scheimer and Norm Prescott for Filmation.
The series was Filmation second fantasy epic, the first being tucked in as a segment of Tarzan and Tarzan and the Super 7, The Freedom Force.
The serie has many notable similarities to He Man Masters of the Universe, which was produced shortly afterwards.
John was an astronaut from a future version of Earth who had been swept through a black hole and stranded on the planet Sagar, where magic and sword and sorcery still ruled the day.
Together with his allies, the Trobbits, Klone, the dragon Warlock, and Mara the Enchantress, he battled the cruel Overlord, a ruthless Ming-like oppressor, who ruled by the might of the Powersword, one half of the Powerstar, an immensely powerful weapon.
Fortunately, he possessed its other half, the Starsword, which kept the Overlord and his dark minions in check.
While the production values were slightly less than the later He-man series, it was still a very entertaining and well done cartoon. Pick up this classic cartoon to add to your collection. I don't think you will be disappointed.
