Bob Larkin: Dazzler #1 (1979) and Essential Dazzler, Vol. 1 (2007)





Next to his iconic painting of the Incredible Hulk angrily holding up a fist, this is probably the comic book cover painting that Bob is most known for: the arrival of mutant superheroine Alison Blaire—the disco-inspired Dazzler!

Unfortunately, due to the paper stock used for Marvel’s comic book covers in the 1970s and ’80s, the reproduction of the original painting fell far short of the mark, turning vibrant colors into dull tones. Thankfully, someone in Marvel’s production department saw fit to restore the art for its reproduction on the cover of Essential Dazzler, Vol. 1.
