Description
took a break from inking commissions to draw this image i had in my head. this is marvel comics' dazzler, aka alison blaire. she's kind of maligned in comic fandom due to the fact that she was created at the height of the disco era. her powers--the ability to convert sound into light energy, didn't exactly wow fanboys.. haha i didn't ever read a comic with her in it until i started reading x-men in the late 80s, hence this very 80s influenced piece.i always remember the 80s having a lot of neon, bright, oversaturated colors, so i wanted to play around with that. and i wanted to work from colored '
aper' as it were, so i just picked a saturated pink and colored right on top of that.

This ability actually exists in the animal kingdom, although not quite this way:Ā theoatmeal.com/comics/mantis_sā¦

If 70's Dazzler was part of disco, was 80's Dazzler part of big hair rock?

hmm.. I'd say she was probably a bit of that, and a bit of new wave, with all the bright colored fashion and heavy makeup.

Nice work.
This was my favorite was always mutant, it's a shame she was just never cool enough for the mainstream.

thank you!
yeah, i think she's highly underrated--a potential a-lister for the x-men.

I used to read Dazzler back when I was a kid, and it cracked me up that she was later brought back as a full time X-man. To tell the truth, I liked the early outfit.

oh yeah? that's cool! i actually think her original outfit is pretty cool too. it's a product of its time, sure, but there's just something fun about her look then. i was also surprised she was an x-man!
