Superman Family Vol. 1 #203 (Newsstand, 1980) – Key Supergirl StoryDive into a Bronze Age classic with Superman Family Vol. 1 #203, a Newsstand Edition published by DC Comics in October 1980. This 64-page anthology issue, part of the iconic Superman Family series, is a treasure for collectors and investors seeking a pivotal Supergirl tale and other Superman universe stories.Key Appearances: The lead story, “The Supergirl from Planet Earth,” written by Jack C. Harris and illustrated by Win Mortimer, centers on Supergirl (Kara Zor-El, aka Linda Danvers). In Midvale, S.T.A.R. Labs employee Jerry Leeds and his wife Donna sit by their comatose daughter Ellie, who has mysteriously grown normally for seven years. Supergirl investigates, uncovering a cosmic connection to Ellie’s condition, blending science fiction with her heroic journey. Additional stories include: Lois Lane in “Lois Lane’s Longest Day!” (reprinted from Superman’s Girl Friend, Lois Lane #42, by Leo Dorfman and Kurt Schaffenberger); Jimmy Olsen in “The Girl Who Was Supergirl!” (reprinted from Action Comics #284, by Jerry Siegel and Jim Mooney); and a Nightwing and Flamebird tale, “The Resurrection of Jonathan Kent!” (reprinted from Superman #149, by Jerry Siegel and Curt Swan). The Dick Dillin and Joe Giella cover, featuring Supergirl, enhances its collectible appeal.
Current Value: As of July 2025, a raw Superman Family #203 Newsstand Edition in mid-grade condition (VG/FN) sells for $5–$15 on eBay and MyComicShop. Newsstand editions, with their UPC barcodes, are scarcer than direct market copies, adding a slight premium. Its value is driven by Supergirl’s lead role and the anthology’s appeal to Superman fans.Expected Value & Trends: This issue’s value is poised for modest growth, fueled by Supergirl’s rising profile with the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow film (June 2026), starring Milly Alcock. The film’s buzz has increased demand for Pre-Crisis Supergirl stories, with Superman Family issues appreciating 3–5% annually in mid-grades. Newsstand rarity enhances potential, with values likely reaching $8–$20 by 2027, especially if Kara Zor-El’s media presence grows. The anthology format and iconic cover add long-term collectibility.Investment Opportunity: Superman Family #203 Newsstand Edition is a Bronze Age gem featuring a compelling Supergirl story alongside Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Nightwing and Flamebird tales. Its newsstand scarcity, diverse content, and ties to the Superman legacy make it a standout for collectors. With Supergirl’s growing media presence, this issue offers nostalgic charm and steady appreciation potential. Grab>this DC classic now to own a piece of the Superman universe!
