Barbie Fashion #50

Marvel pulls out all the stops for this special double-size 50th issue of Barbie Fashion, and the cover — penciled by Barbara Rausch and inked by Jeff Albrecht — makes a fitting statement: Barbie sweeps down a pink runway in a breathtaking white ball gown with intricate floral embroidery, a billowing veil crowned with flowers, and a cascading bouquet of red and yellow blooms, while an admiring crowd of onlookers lines the catwalk on both sides. The cover promises "The Latest Wedding Fashions," delivering exactly the kind of glamorous, aspirational style that made this Marvel series a standout in 1995. Inside, the creative team — including writer Barbara Slate and artists Mary Wilshire and Barbara Rausch — brings the story "Mystery Mansion" to life in what is clearly a celebratory milestone edition.
