Well, since we’re on the tack of Marvel in the ’80s, Green Arrow/Black Canary artist Cliff Chiang has made his own clever pastiche:
Why yes, that would be the Mistress of the Hand, transported to that 1983 classic Flashdance.
“This was a blast to draw,” Cliff wrote on his blog, which has some other great sketches featuring Batgirl and Vampirella. “After years of brush inking, it was liberating to grab a pen and just mess around. I think the brilliant source material inspired me to experiment and play with the look of the piece, and it turned out to be a great learning experience.”
Chiang said on his blog that he would be donating the inked version of the above piece to the art auction at Heroes Con in Charlotte, which runs from June 19-21!

Cliff Chiang is so delightful!
I used his “Batgirl in the Purple Rain” illo. on my site, “very secret monster things”, for a post about my secret history with Batgirl, or rather her Mego action figure.
I’d love for you to read it & hear (or rather read) your thoughts:
