The Superman Family #209

Packed with five ad-free stories, The Superman Family #209 is a terrific dollar-comic value from 1981, spotlighting Supergirl, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, Clark Kent, and Mr. and Mrs. Superman across its anthology pages. Rich Buckler and Dick Giordano's cover puts Supergirl front and center, cape billowing as she unleashes a tremendous torrent of water to quell a riot, while surrounding vignettes tease Lois in a rooftop struggle, Jimmy discovering a diamond ring in a cereal box, and Clark Kent slipping toward a phone booth. It's a wonderfully busy, energetic composition that makes clear this issue has plenty going on for every corner of the Superman universe.
