The Superman Family #171

This oversized 1975 Giant issue from DC puts Batgirl front and center, arms raised defiantly as Supergirl and a regal, staff-wielding Cleopatra square off on either side of her beneath the bold declaration "Let the Duel Begin!" — promising exactly the kind of heroine-versus-villainess showdown the cover headline announces: "Supergirl and Batgirl Clash with… Cleopatra Queen of America." The striking cover composition by Ernie Chan and José Luis García-López also packs in a bustling lower scene featuring Superman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Batman, and several other DC figures gathered before what appears to be the U.S. Capitol, while the sidebar spotlights the issue's full cast — Supergirl, Jimmy Olsen, and Lois Lane — reinforcing just how much story this giant-sized package delivers. With interior work from writer Cary Bates and artist Pete Costanza, this is a wonderfully jam-packed slice of mid-'70s DC fun.
