P:R Approved: Erica Henderson’s Starfire!

Note: Although she wasn’t the first hero to go by the name Starfire, this long-time Teen Titan defined won out and made it her own. Originally created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez, this alien princess has received a much-needed wardrobe upgrade courtesy of frequently featured P:R artist here, Erica Henderson. Seemingly inspired equally by Perez’ comics interpretation and Starfire’s appearance in the stellar Teen Titans animated series, Henderson gives her a hairband for that tousled and rebellious hair, along with a wardrobe that’s revealing without being one-dimensional sex object. I’d love to see Kori take this outfit to heart and show what she can really do in comics. – Chris A.

P:R Approved: Erica Henderson’s Hercules!

Note: P:R Contributor Jon Morris has been on a tear with his series of re-creation blogs, and he just started a new one with The Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe – Reduxe Edition. Over there, the always-phenomenal Erica Henderson contributed a great new interpretation of Marvel’s manly prince of power, Hercules. Taking inspiration not only from Marvel but the character’s mythological origins, Henderson’s given this salty dog new life — and even made him a bit older! – Chris A.

P:R Redesign: Erica Henderson’s Storm!

Note: Storm is arguably one of the stylish heroes in the superhero biz judging by the number of wardrobe changes she’s gone through over the years. And artist Erica Henderson returns to P:R with a design harkening back to Ororo’s roots, specifically to the Dinka people of Africa says the artist. She’s really showing off her goddess roots, and the hair is great! – Chris A.

Erica Henderson’s Dazzler

Note: Maybe it’s because a new X-Men movie is in theatres, or maybe it’s because some are so direly in need, but Project: Rooftop has received a swamp of mutant entries in the past few weeks. At the top of the heap we have Erica Henderson‘s Dazzler redesign. Allison Blaire never had it so good. – Chris A.


Erica has this to say about the design:

These are Dazzler costume designs based on an idea a friend and I had about her being more of a Lady Gaga type fashion/pop icon. We imagine she exists in more of a Katy Keene sort of book that trends pink. She’s not a superhero, just a superstar with superpowers and each issue features a new and exciting outfit, and possibly heartbreak! Dum Dum DUM!
