Dazzler #01

Collection: Razzle-Dazzler

Well, here's the very first direct distribution comic book from Marvel! This issue is what started the 80s issues and later with an image or logo instead of a barcode. And it did so by not even putting anything on the cover except for the graphics and lettering at the top!

Published: 3/81

Tom DeFalco - writer
Bob Larkin - cover
John Romita Jr. - Penciler
Alfredo Alcala - Inker
Glynis Wein - colorist
Joe Rosen - Letterer
Louise Jones (Simonson)- Editor
Jim Shooter - Editor-In-Chief

Signed by Louise Simonson and Tom DeFalco!!

Story Title : So Bright This Star

Summary:

Alison Blaire, aka: Dazzler, takes down some goons attempting to kidnap her with the help of a passing-by Spiderman.

She then goes home to her 6th floor apartment and bemoans her financial situation. Three months behind on rent, no money and living in a run-down place, despite her singing career.

Considering accepting Ororo's offer of joining the X-Men, she calls the School for Gifted Youngsters and speaks with Ororo, but changes her mind.

She thinks back to when she discovered her powers at a high school dance. She got on stage, began singing, and the light show erupted from her. A gang busts in and starts wailing on everyone, and out of anger, she attacks with a dazzling display she doesn't know she's capable of, blinding everyone. She vows to never use the power again.

Over the years, she joins bands, hones her power, and completes law school at her father's insistence, but decides to be true to herself and go into music. Her father pretty much disowns her. She creates her look and becomes DAZZLER, the singer.

Ending her revelry, we travel to Asgard and witness the Enchantress using the Fountain of Forever to determine the location of an approaching rift in reality she wants to use to try and take over everything. The fountain reveals a disco on Midgard(Earth) as the location. She readies for her trip.

Next morning, at the Avenger's mansion, Beast sees something in the morning paper that causes him to spring to action, nearly trampling Wasp and causing an uproar in the mansion. After apologizing, he bounds off to see Alison.

He shows her the article for auditions for a new singer at the disco club "Numero Uno". She thanks Beast and goes to the audition. The Enchantress auditions first and enthralls Stevie Wildfire, the owner, but then Dazzler performs and even though Stevie is "enchanted" by Enchantress' beauty, Dazzler's voice and light show win her the contract.

Enchantress is infuriated and after taking her wrath out on the wall, leaves and vows to return and get vengeance.

Continued in #2...

PERSONAL COMMENTS:

This was another example to me of how being famous didn't mean being rich or having less troubles to deal with. There's nothing wrong with trying to have a comfortable life, but understand that true happiness doesn't come from extreme monetary wealth.

It comes from doing what you love to do! When you do THAT, the struggles you go through in the process are easily overcome.
