Thought so. Never read it so I won't pass judgement on it's contents.
Never was fond of Dazzler and I think that Byrne summed it up best when he
said that characters created by comittees rarely work. I know that he,
Claremont and Frank Miller had a hand in the creation of Dazzler - I wonder
if Miller is as pissed off with the fact that they continued on writing her
character as he is with Elektras ;-)

I remember those - wasn't it a competition that you entered for the chance
to appear in it? It was mooted as being a 'major Broadway musical', which
might mean that it played in some placed like Broadway, Ohio.
BTW- what's happening on The Bill? We've just passed the episode where Luke
and Craig locked lips.....dirty boys!!!
