The Superman Family #203

For a single dollar in 1980, The Superman Family #203 packed in five all-new stories featuring Supergirl, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, Clark Kent, and Mr. and Mrs. Superman — remarkable value for DC's "Dollar Comic" line. The cover, penciled by Ross Andru and inked by Dick Giordano, bursts with energy: two versions of Supergirl collide mid-air above a suburban rooftop, one demanding "Gangway for the one and only Supergirl!" while the other questions her own identity — a genuinely arresting visual hook for the lead story, "The Supergirl from Planet Earth!" Surrounding that central image, teaser panels hint at Lois Lane caught in a psychic assault, Jimmy Olsen facing a gunman's threat, Clark Kent racing against a tidal wave, and tension brewing between Mr. and Mrs. Superman over Lana Lang, making this issue a satisfying anthology from every angle.
