The Superman Family #197

This October 1979 dollar-sized anthology packs five all-new super-stories featuring Superboy, Supergirl, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Clark Kent under one cover by José Luis García-López. The cover's central scene captures Supergirl in a desperate struggle against a dark-suited villain called "The Man with the Eternity Hands," who boasts of melting lampposts and crumbling her to dust, while smaller panels tease Superboy in a mysterious green costume asking "Why am I wearing this strange costume?", a startled Lois Lane contemplating a mystery letter, a frantic Jimmy Olsen at a typewriter, and Clark Kent being exposed as Superman by a squawking bird. At a dollar, this issue delivers remarkable value for fans of the entire Superman extended family.
