Step into the electric energy of the late Bronze Age of Marvel Comics with Marvel Tales #230, a direct reprint of The Amazing Spider-Man #203, originally published in 1980. This issue delivers a unique crossover as the iconic web-slinger Spider-Man finds himself entangled in a high-stakes encounter with the disco-powered mutant hero, Dazzler.
Written by Denny O’Neil and pencilled by Keith Pollard, with dynamic inks by Mickey Demeo, this story blends superhero action with the glitz of the entertainment world. When Dazzler becomes the target of a mysterious assailant during a high-profile concert at Madison Square Garden, Peter Parker must balance his day job as a photographer and his night gig as Spider-Man to uncover the threat. The two heroes join forces in an energetic tale that captures the vibrant pulse of early 1980s Marvel storytelling.
This issue is an essential collectible for fans of Spider-Man crossovers, Dazzler enthusiasts, and readers looking to complete their Marvel Tales Vol. 2 collection. It also represents a pivotal moment in Dazzler’s development as a character, just prior to her launching into her own solo series. The creative team crafts a fun, fast-paced story that balances action, character interaction, and light humour — a hallmark of Spider-Man’s most memorable adventures.
The artwork features crisp linework and fluid motion, especially during the concert scenes, where Dazzler’s light-based powers steal the show. The cover art mirrors the classic Amazing Spider-Man #203 layout, adding to the appeal for collectors seeking nostalgic cover designs from this period.
