Carol Ferris was last seen as Star Sapphire in the first story of Green Lantern #26 and next becomes Star Sapphire in Green Lantern #73.
Synopsis:
During a charity event, Carol Ferris is mysteriously attacked. Green Lantern rescues her and takes her to the hospital. There, she awakens and seeks out the star sapphire jewel. When she finds it, she resumes her Star Sapphire identity. Green Lantern finds her, but she stuns him and leaves.
When Hal recovers, he follows Star Sapphire. He finds her battling another woman who is also Star Sapphire. The Zamarons meet GL and explain that the other woman is Dela Pharon from the planet Xanador. The Zamarons chose her as their new queen, but the woman became angry when dissenters claimed that Carol would have made a superior queen. Dela came to Earth and attacked Carol. This provoked Carol to become Star Sapphire again.
The two women finish their duel with Carol seemingly the victor. She then challenges and defeats GL, forcing him to return to Zamaron as her husband. Before the wedding, GL discovers that the woman is really Dela Pharon. She has tricked everyone in order to marry GL. Hal brings the real Carol, who was living Dela Pharon's life on Xanador, to Zamaron. He then defeats Dela and returns Carol to Earth with no knowledge of events or her Star Sapphire persona.
