Superman Family Vol. 1 #206 (1981) – Key Supergirl and Lois Lane StoriesDive into a Bronze Age classic with Superman Family Vol. 1 #206, published by DC Comics in March-April 1981. This 64-page anthology issue, part of the iconic Superman Family series, is a gem for collectors and investors seeking vibrant tales featuring Supergirl, Lois Lane, and the Superman universe.Key Appearances: The lead story, “Strangers at the Heart’s Core,” written by Gerry Conway with art by Win Mortimer, sees Supergirl (Kara Zor-El, aka Linda Danvers) confronting the Matrix, a cosmic entity threatening her identity, in a pivotal Pre-Crisis tale. Supporting characters include Fred and Sylvia Danvers. Other stories include: Lois Lane in “Superman’s Secret Enemy!” (reprinted from Superman’s Girl Friend, Lois Lane #39, by Leo Dorfman and Kurt Schaffenberger), where Lois uncovers a plot against Superman; Jimmy Olsen in “The Day They Sold Superman’s Fortress!” (reprinted from Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen #59, by Leo Dorfman and Jim Mooney), featuring a scam involving the Fortress of Solitude; and a Nightwing and Flamebird tale, “The Superman of 2020!” (reprinted from Superman #154, by Bill Finger and Al Plastino), set in Kandor. The Ross Andru and Dick Giordano cover, spotlighting Supergirl, enhances its collectible appeal.Current Value: As of July 2025, a raw Superman Family #206 in mid-grade condition (VG/FN) sells for $5–$15 on eBay and MyComicShop. Its value is driven by Supergirl’s lead role, the anthology’s diverse content, and its place in the Pre-Crisis Superman universe, appealing to collectors of Kara Zor-El’s era.Expected Value & Trends: This issue’s value is poised for modest growth, fueled by Supergirl’s rising popularity with the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow film (June 2026), starring Milly Alcock. The film’s buzz has boosted demand for Pre-Crisis Supergirl stories, with Superman Family issues appreciating 3–5% annually in mid-grades. The Matrix storyline’s significance, tied to Supergirl’s later 1990s run, adds speculative appeal. Expect values to reach $8–$20 by 2027, especially if Supergirl’s media presence grows. The anthology format and iconic cover ensure long-term collectibility.Investment Opportunity: Superman Family #206 is a Bronze Age treasure featuring a key Supergirl story alongside Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Nightwing and Flamebird tales. Its engaging content, ties to the Superman legacy, and vibrant cover make it a standout for collectors. With Supergirl’s expanding media presence, this issue offers nostalgic charm and steady appreciation potential. Secure this DC classic now to own a piece of the Superman universe!
