Publication: New York, Marvel Entertainment, LLC, 2020
Formatting: Royal 8vo, 328 pages.
Condition Report: Fine. The boards are immaculate with razor-sharp corners and no shelf-wear to the edges. The spine is completely uncreased with perfectly crisp head and tail caps, retaining its original structural integrity. The binding remains remarkably tight, indicating the book is entirely unread. The text block edges are unblemished, and internally, the pages are bright, clean, and entirely free from foxing, toning, or any other defects. The dust jacket is likewise pristine, presenting no chips, tears, or rubbing, maintaining its glossy finish perfectly.
Catalogue Note: This is the highly sought-after Direct Market (DM) Variant of Marvel Masterworks: Dazzler Volume 2 (Volume 302 in the wider Masterworks series). Distinguishable by its classic marble-patterned border and gold foil-stamped framing around the reproduction of the Dazzler #20 comic cover, this edition was produced in an exceptionally strict limitation of just 597 copies.
Profusely illustrated throughout by Frank Springer and others, the volume collects issues #14-25 of the original 1981 Dazzler series, alongside What If? #33.
Given the exceedingly low print run of this specific classic-cover variant, copies have become increasingly scarce on the open market, particularly in unread, collector-grade condition.
Experience the seminal stories of one of Marvel's most unique heroines. In this dazzling second volume, Alison Blaire, mutant, pop star, and reluctant superhero, continues her roller-disco-powered journey through the Marvel Universe. Balancing her soaring music career with the dangerous demands of super-heroics, Dazzler crosses paths with some of Marvel's heaviest hitters. Packed with spectacular action, early '80s glamour, and classic comic book drama, this collection perfectly captures the vibrant energy of an era.

Book Condition Guide
| 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. |
