... Marvel's Dynamic Diva of Disco, the Dazzler!

Dazzler! I haven't read much of her old stuff, but I do like her when she shows up in comics.

I learned something today. The Dazzler.

This sounds like a very interesting character. I think I would like to see more of her story and perhaps, even a film?
what median would show her off best? I almost think anime, but it would be buried for those folks who do not like anime. They'd miss it.

Dazzler would be great as an anime, though a lot of what she did as trailblazing has been covered by a lot of others in the 30+ years since her origin.

The Essential collections should include a LOT of her adventures -- I'm not sure if they're COMPLETE collections of her back issues, but they will be very large books collecting a very large number of her comics, in chronological order. I know, I've got several of the Essential Spider-Man collections.

Lord only knows when it'll happen, but one of my long term projects is getting my comic collection out of the random assortment of boxes it's in and sorted. After which I'll start selling most of them.

I'll try to make a note that you get first DIBs on ROM.

I hope to reduce my collection to a few boxes, and they'll likely be just the non Marvel/DC stuff. (I have a soft spot for several Gold Key titles like Space Family Robinson, Magnus Robot Fighter and Mighty Samson to name just one group)

ROM! ROM!

Magnus, Robot Fighter! Now there's an obscure little title.

When I was a kid I used to read a lot of Richie Rich. I liked it when they had actual adventures instead of just the usual "Look How Rich Richie Is" schtick.

More obscure than Space Famiily Robinson or Mighty Samson? Don't *think* there are any Turok in there.

On the other hand, I'm pretty sure there are some Dazzler in there.

Mind you, this was a reading collection and they weren't stpred that carefully. So I expect a lot of curl.
