Description

In this story by DC writer Jack C. Harris, an ugly duckling goes to extreme lengths to become her high school's beautiful swan, ultimately reaping disaster. In this finale, Cheryl Wheeler's body has fissioned into a beautiful but vapid teen, and a loathsome but intelligent slime monster. Her new boyfriend destroys the latter, thereby dooming the former as well. Oh, the humanity!

Panel one shows well-drawn feet, a detail many comic book artists are not well practiced in rendering. Apart from the liberal use of Craftint for textures, Morrow also uses overlapping layers in panel five to suggest a cityscape behind the characters. Horror hostess Madraven Stark shows up for the final word. Check out her oh-so-1990s hairstyle in the final panel!

I don't think the guy minds and told Steve to leave.  Together they lived a happy life, and a souless Cheryl lived on and found a career politics.
