"Dream a Little Dream"

Brief Description:
Phil Moreau and Jenny Ransome, fugitives from Genosha, are about to be kidnapped by Genoshan Magistrates, when an amnesiac Colossus suddenly shows up and intervenes on their behalf. Grateful, Phil and Jenny offer him a place to stay. In Hollywood, an equally amnesiac Dazzler awakes on the property of her former boss, Lila Cheney, and is taken in by Lila’s guard Guido. Trying to figure out who she is, Alison goes clubbing and meets Fred Stanachek, a young man whom she once helped and who currently holds the rights to her aborted movie. Fred offers to make her a star, while elsewhere Eric Beale schemes to kill her.
On Muir Island, Moira has David Haller use Cerebro to find the X-Men or her missing bodyguard, Callisto. David fails but, above him, a spirit image of Amahl Farouk appears, uttering the words ‘Storm’ and ‘Cairo.’ Callisto, in the meantime, is a prisoner of Masque, who promises that he’ll break her. A short time later, a gorgeous woman, who Peter has seen on several ads, runs into him and Peter notices she’s afraid of something. In the meantime, the Genoshan Genegineer and Chief Magistrate decide to get the fugitives back at any cost.

Story Notes:
Colossus and Dazzler disappeared into the Siege Perilous in Uncanny X-Men #251. This is their first appearance since.

Jenny Ransome and Phil Moreau were introduced during the X-Men’s first conflict with the Genoshan government in Uncanny X-Men #235-238.

Freddie Stanachek and Eric Beale were first introduced in the Dazzler - the Movie Graphic Novel, which also introduced the plot of Dazzler’s movie, which was aborted due to anti-mutant hysteria and in effect ruined her career. Freddie was an insecure young man, whom Ali gave some self-confidence, and Beale was the producer who tried to first buy her favors and then force her to become his.

Ginjer Baron is a homage to the character of Ginger Fox from the “World of Ginger Fox” Graphic Novel and limited series by Mike Baron.

Legion aka David Haller is mistakenly called Daniel in this issue.

Moira sent Callisto to the X-mansion in issue #253.

Forge fought Farouk in his spirit dream in issue #253.
