Synopsis for Supergirl: "The Kiss of Death"
This story is reprinted from Action Comics #364.
When two women wearing a strange tattoo on their arm are romanced by a man named Durkla and die shortly after kissing him, Supergirl investigates. She learns that the two victims and one other woman were part of a gang of murderers and raiders on the water-world of Valair. All three were tattooed with a mark that emitted X-rays so they could be detected by their
executioner, Durkla. But all three escaped to Earth, including one who is being hidden by Supergirl; Durkla executed the first two by a poisoned ring. The third proves to be a thief, and dies when she falls into a vat of liquid helium in the Fortress of Solitude.
