Saturday Night Fight
When Karma returned to the New Mutants, having disappeared early on in the run, she came back grossly obese. With Bill Sienkiewicz on art duties though, Xi'an wasn't just obese, she ballooned out of all realistic proportion into some kind of vile creation absolutely in keeping with Bill's expressionist mindset. Here she fills the cover of this issue with her extraordinary bulk. The odd thing is, though, that, in the last few years, I have seen TV programmes with people who are extremely obese and suddenly Xi'an's weight doesn't seem so exaggerated. Karma isn't the only thing going on here though. I love the puppet figures of the other mutants in front of her, regular team members seemingly providing backing vocals (or crazy dancing) to a glowing Dazzler. It's all tremendous. Incidentally, fat fighter fans, Karma did eventually lose all that excess fat thanks to a very long walk in the desert in a New Mutants annual a little while later.
