Superman Family Vol. 1 #208 (1981) – Key Supergirl and Lois Lane StoriesStep into a Bronze Age classic with Superman Family Vol. 1 #208, published by DC Comics in July 1981. This 64-page anthology issue, part of the iconic Superman Family series, is a treasure for collectors and investors seeking vibrant tales featuring Supergirl, Lois Lane, and the Superman universe.Key Appearances: The lead story, “The Day of the Death-Duel!” written by Jack C. Harris with art by Win Mortimer, features Supergirl (Kara Zor-El, aka Linda Danvers) facing a deadly alien assassin in Metropolis, sent to challenge her Kryptonian powers in a high-stakes duel. Supporting characters include Fred and Sylvia Danvers. Other stories include: Lois Lane in “The Superwoman of Metropolis!” (reprinted from Superman’s Girl Friend, Lois Lane #8, by Otto Binder and Kurt Schaffenberger), where Lois gains temporary powers; Jimmy Olsen in “Jimmy Olsen, Superman’s Ex-Pal!” (reprinted from Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen #36, by Otto Binder and Curt Swan), exploring a rift with Superman; and a Nightwing and Flamebird tale, “The Man with the X-Ray Mind!” (reprinted from Superman #158, by Robert Bernstein and Curt Swan), 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 #208 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. Expect values to reach $8–$20 by 2027, particularly if Supergirl’s media presence grows. The anthology format, featuring Lois Lane and Nightwing and Flamebird, and the iconic cover add long-term collectibility.Investment Opportunity: Superman Family #208 is a Bronze Age gem featuring a thrilling Supergirl story alongside Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Nightwing and Flamebird reprints. 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!
