Step into the wayback portal with us as we go back to 1982 and revisit the four-issue Marvel mini-series "Hercules: Prince of Power". Hercules lived mostly on the margins of the Marvel universe, but he (and the Greek Pantheon) get a fun and funny showcase in this series that sees the Lion of Olympus exiled from his home... into space?

This era of Marvel comics was a formative time in the industry and the Hecules mini-series is just one of many from the decade that spotlights the fun and accessibility that was threaded through comics at the time.
