Marvel Masterworks: Dazzler Vol. 1, Tom DeFalco, Danny Fingeroth, John Romita Jr. & Frank Springer — 1st Edition

Publication: New York, Marvel Worldwide, Inc., 2019

Formatting: 8vo, pp. [vi], 368.

Condition Report: Fine. This copy presents as an almost perfect example, remaining tight, bright, and seemingly unread. The black leatherette boards are sharply cornered and entirely free from shelf-wear or bumping, with the silver foil stamping to the front board and spine remaining brilliantly unoxidised. The binding is remarkably tight, ensuring the text block holds a flawless, un-drooped square silhouette. Internally, the pages are exceptionally bright and clean, completely free from any foxing, thumbing, or previous ownership inscriptions. The dust jacket is similarly immaculate, retaining its original high-gloss finish and deep colour saturation without any rubbing, edge-wear, or fading to the spine panel, presenting beautifully as a collector's copy.

Catalogue Note: This is the highly sought-after Direct Market Variant of Marvel Masterworks Volume 288, identifiable by its classic, retro-styled gold-framed trade dress and the use of Bob Larkin’s iconic painted cover art from Dazzler No. 1.

Crucially for collectors, this variant edition was strictly limited to a minuscule print run of just 670 copies worldwide. Due to this severe limitation, it has become significantly scarcer on the open market compared to the standard trade edition, rarely surfacing in such pristine, unread condition.

Experience the vibrant debut of one of Marvel's most unique heroines. Alison Blaire, a mutant with the dazzling ability to transduce sound into solid light, just wants to be a disco superstar. However, the Marvel Universe has other plans. This comprehensive volume collects Dazzler's earliest adventures, pulling her from the recording studio and thrusting her into high-stakes conflicts alongside Spider-Man and the X-Men, battling foes ranging from Doctor Doom to Galactus himself.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
