Marvel Graphic Novel #12
"Dazzler: The Movie" delivers a bold, campy slice of 1980s pop culture with writer James Shooter and artist Frank Springer bringing Dazzler’s starry ambitions to life in a story that’s equal parts glamour and grit. As Dazzler teams up with a flamboyant, aging movie star—complete with toupee, false teeth, and a flair for the dramatic—they attempt to launch a film that quickly unravels when her secret as a mutant is exposed. The cover by Bill Sienkiewicz captures the era’s excess with bold, stylized flair, making this a standout entry in the Marvel Graphic Novel line.

Dazzler hooks up with (and by "hooks up with" I mean falls in love with and has carnal relations with) an aging movie star (complete with toupee, false teeth and pot belly) and they both try to further their careers by making a feature film which gets shot to pieces when Dazzler is outed to the world as a mutant.
