This story is so F'd up. She ACTUALLY marries the guy, coz he's headed for the chair (!), but there's a break-out, but eventually he dies saving her. SHE MARRIES THE DEATH ROW PRISONER, not SUPERMAN. Like ever. Like, there has to be a WHOLE NEW UNIVERSE for her to marry Clark.

The cover is Jim Starlin, with colors by Christie Scheele.
HowEVER, the insides were done by James Sherman, the only non-Starlin penciled issue in the Marvel run. The Dreadstar Omnibus credits Starlin with pencils for this story and Jim Sherman only for inks. It's unclear which is correct.
