Billed as the first disco-themed superhero, '''Dazzler''' was originally created as a cross-promotional stunt, by [[Marvel Comics]] and Casablanca Records. The latter had previously found a niche when Marvel made a comic book about [[Kiss]], one of the most popular artists on Casablanca's label. 'The character first appeared in ''Uncanny X-Men'' #130 (February, 1980). She gained her own magazine in 1981.
The comic followed the adventures of Alison Blaire, a mutant who had the power to turn absorbed sound into bursts of light, and her life as a singer and superhero. She wore KISS-esque makeup ([[Follow the Leader|how obvious]]), [[Rollerblade Good|snap-on roller skates]] and reflective bling, including a disco ball necklace. The character was introduced in 1980, [[Deader Than Disco|which did not help her popularity much]]. Despite this, the Dazzler book, ran for about five years and 42 issues (March, 1981-March, 1986). Originally, the comic was aimed toward young females, the plots were a combination of [[Soap Opera]]-esque drama and the typical Superhero storylines (a format that would later be adapted by the later animated series/toy line [[Jem]]).
