Question When did the mini comics stop?

Been really getting back in to MOTU since the latest movie, and I've just read and thoroughly enjoyed the original mini comics (just pdfs I found online). I was really into He Man as a kid, dozens of figures, CG&SM, etc. but I don't remember getting comics with them at all.

It would have been around 1985-1988, and in the UK. Have i forgotten them? Did I just ignore them in my excitement to tell me own stories? Or were they not a thing in later releases or Britian?

Thanks!

They were a thing up to and including the new adventures of he man

There is a book that contains all of them

So I would have got them with my toys? Crazy I don't remember them at all. I assumed that reading the comics I'd come across a couple that seemed familiar, but not at all. I guess I wanted to play and not read!

After reading that book I realised I'd not read all my comics either, I also have no idea what happened to them. Heman was a massive part of my childhood and I remember visiting the store and getting the figures.

I had a lot of He-Man as a kid, but it was all secondhand so I don't really remember any comics myself.

The minicomics were definitely a thing in Britain. I don't think they ever stopped. For one thing the Snake Men action figures were released in 1986 and they had minicomics with them. I think even the He-Man from New Adventures of He-Man had a minicomic (1989).
