The New Teen Titans #17

Starfire stands at the center of this 1986 New Teen Titans issue, her wild auburn hair crackling with energy as she faces the reader in what appears to be a wedding outfit torn and battered amid a scene of chaos — flowers and rubble scattered around her, glowing power emanating from her fists. The cover's bold declaration, "This Is It! The Marriage of Starfire," promises a momentous occasion that clearly isn't going smoothly. Writer Marv Wolfman and artists Eduardo Barreto and George Pérez (with inks by Romeo Tanghal) set an immediate, dramatic tone that makes it impossible not to flip to the first page.
