Launched in the early issues of NEW TALENT SHOWCASE was a one-shot story about a Vietnamese girl named Amber who could turn people into statues of amber-- and thus the feature was naturally titled FOREVER AMBER (after a 1944 romance-novel that no one reads anymore).
Oddly, in 1999 someone else did a FOREVER AMBER comic book that I've not read, and which I assume had nothing to do with the 1983 comic.
