This is a stock scan of the issue, so it shows what the comic looks like rather than this exact copy. Books under $5 are sold on my word: the grade is my honest read of this copy, and anything I spot is written in. If a photo would make the difference, ask and I will do what I can.

Story

When his son is killed by an American In El Salvador, Soviet official Marek Slavik takes revenge on the United States by sending his secretary, Maladi Malanova, to America as a courier, with the young woman unaware that she is now the carrier of a deadly disease. Learning of this, the Soviet government dispatches super-hero Starfire to the U.S. to stop Maladi. F.B.I. agent King Faraday alerts the Titans to Starfire’s arrival, and a battle ensues when they mistake him for the plague-carrier. Having discovered the truth, the Titans must still race to locate Maladi before Starfire, who plans to end her threat by killing her, inasmuch as her own condition Is now in-curable. The Titans fight Starfire to a stalemate and Maladi is finally taken to a hospital to die in peace. Only then does Starfire, condemned for his attitude by the Titans, especially Kid Flash, throughout their encounter, reveal that the girl had been his fiancee.
