Set Description:
LADIEEES AND GENTLEMENNNN! I have the pleasure and honor of presenting to you the first ever complete, graded set of all 42 issues of DAZZLER!!!!!!
I always liked dazzler for some reason. Probably because I was and am a musician who always had dreams of being on the big stadium stages around the world, playing to thousands of fans.
Having a Marvel Mutant character with the same dreams just clicked with me. Being a big Marvel Mutants fan just cemented it for me,
Getting all of these was a five year journey! It was very satisfying though, especially since ALL of these are worth at least some decent registry points.
Dazzler was a historic series, since it was the first to feature direct distribution of comics with something other than the barcode on the cover. In fact, issue #1 was the very first direct distribution comic from Marvel, and was only distributed to comic stores and had no barcode or graphic or anything on it.
It is also a neat series because my favorite artist, Bill Sienkiewicz, is shown in all of his variations. Everything from his Neal-Adams-like art style to his more linear, abstract, mixed media styling to just his inking is featured on some of these covers!
I am still in the process of putting first page/key moment pages on these as well as story summaries and personal comments.
I have now begun to get these signed, which will make almost every single one an OAK when done. I have 11 issues signed right now.
Some of these are single highest graded copies!
My 9.9 copy of #4 is now the earliest comic I have that is above 9.8!
Two are 9.6, but the rest are all 9.8 White Pages or better. As soon as I can get my hands on 9.8s of #24 and #25, I will do so.
I also have the much rarer "Printing Error" version of #1, which is extremely hard to get in 9.8!!
And to top everything off, three of these are Winnipeg Pedigree copies!
If super heroes were rock bands, Dazzler would definitely be the light show!!
