Barbie #19
In "Delicious Dilemma," Barbie and her friends take a whimsical turn when each tries to help Midge with her insomnia—only to find their own remedies unexpectedly lulling them to sleep. The moment Midge finally drifts off while watching Barbie practice her magic act, the line between wakefulness and dream blurs in a quietly surreal moment. Written by Lisa Trusiani and brought to life with June Brigman’s expressive art, John Lucas’s inks, and vibrant colors by Freddy Mendez and Mike Worley, this 1992 Marvel comic captures a tender, playful slice of teenage life. The cover by Amanda Conner and Jeff Albrecht perfectly frames the story’s dreamy tone.
