Dazzler #26

Danny Fingeroth - Script

Frank Springer - Pencils

Joe Jusko - Cover

Marvel 

1983

Probably the most depressing thing about pop culture is when it fails to effectively recognize itself.  

Fingeroth makes early 80’s New York look about as exciting as rural Nebraska.  With all the musical weirdness shifting around then, it appears that Marvel’s writers took a deliberate conservative stance on Dazzler’s image.  Sex object aside, even her disco vibe is decidedly friendly - Studio 54 minus every vice, including a 4/4 beat.

Oh Well: Dazzler’s half sister just discovered that she’s a mutie - the kind that unintentionally kills both friend and foe.  Daz decides it’s best for the the two to hit road after Sis fries her would-be assailant.  The issue ends with Ms. Blaire going incognito and scolding her half sib for being a big baby about uncontrollably frying things.

Springer’s drama between Sis and herself are compelling.  The sharp angles he renders echo a wonderful trashiness reminiscent of Drake’s and Starr’s Kelly Green.

Only gripe: what the fuck was Springer referencing for a cat in image 7?

I loved Sleepwalker as a kid, even though his villains were pretty lame. Except Spectra was awesome! Rainbow skinned, torn floating rags for clothes, multi-powered diamond, harsh critiques and an origin born out of desperate love and rage.

Mystique gets some pretty prominent placement on 3 new X-Men Days of Future Past posters. I'm glad she's a big part of the film. Jennifer Lawrence's portrayal of her in First Class was one of biggest emotional beats of that film and I look forward to seeing her develop into the kick-ass villainess she becomes in the original trilogy.

More gorgeous Elektra preview art by Mike del Mundo. Looks like she’s taking Scalphunter and lady Bullseye!

Gypsy Moth is a great rival for Spider-Woman. You sorta want them to be friends but love it when they fight!
