Dazzler #4

Dazzler finds herself caught between opposing forces on this striking 1981 Marvel cover, with the light-powered mutant blasting energy outward while the Silver Surfer faces her from the other side — all beneath the looming, commanding visage of Doctor Doom. The tagline says it all: "A Force for Good… A Force for Evil… As Doom Commands!" — promising a tense three-way dynamic that Frank Springer renders with bold, kinetic energy. Tom DeFalco's story, "Here Nightmares Abide!", sounds like exactly the kind of high-stakes Marvel adventure that made this era so compelling.
