The Superman Family #196

This August 1979 Dollar Comic packs an impressive 68 ad-free pages across six all-new stories featuring Superboy, Supergirl, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, Clark Kent, and Mr. and Mrs. Superman. The cover by José Luis García-López and Dick Giordano captures a thrilling street-level emergency: a young Superman streaks through a city intersection, intercepting a spinning helicopter blade while a panicked crowd below cries warnings — and one proud onlooker thinks, "That's my son!" It's a warm, action-charged snapshot of the Superman Family at its finest, with the kind of clean, dynamic artwork that made DC's late-'70s Dollar Comics such a satisfying read.
