Back in the day when comics sold to people under the age of 40 sales of even lower-performing titles were big numbers. As a result cancellation was something of a last resort instead of an annual exercise. Dazzler had been launched to tie in with disco but naturally by the time Alison's adventures were out the genre had become a lightning rod for hatred. Despite a change in direction the mutant songstress struggled to shift comics, so Danny Fingeroth had her switch to acting hopeful. To help promote the new format a series of nine covers were created by Bill Sienkiewicz, who was a serious heavyweight at the company. They didn't really help Dazzler but they looked superb.
