SUPERMAN’S GIRL FRIEND, LOIS LANE #79

Cover shows moderate wear consistent with a mid-grade Silver Age book: visible spine stress lines and slight color break along the spine, mild corner softness at the top corners, and some minor surface scuffing/gloss loss across the green background. There appears to be a small crease near the lower left edge and light edge wear along the right border. The book is in a protective sleeve, and the interior and back cover were not assessed.

Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane #79 (November 1967) is a routine entry in DC's long-running Lois Lane solo title, part of the Silver Age wave of romance-tinged superhero comics built around Lois's schemes to prove her love for or unmask Superman. The series during this period typically featured single-issue "imaginary story" plots, transformation gimmicks, and love-triangle set pieces involving Lois, Superman, and Lana Lang, with art handled by DC's Superman-family bullpen. Issue #79 carries no recognized first appearance, death, or landmark creative milestone that price guides or collector consensus single out; it is valued as a representative mid-run Silver Age issue rather than a key.

Market data for the issue is thin but consistent with a common back-issue title: certified sales cluster in the mid-to-high grades, with values climbing from roughly sixty dollars at 8.5 to around one hundred sixty dollars at 9.6, and only a single census copy recorded at 9.8 with no confirmed sale price. Demand is driven almost entirely by Superman-family and Silver Age DC completists rather than character-specific key-issue buyers, and the census shows modest overall population, keeping grading-sensitive pricing intact without the volatility seen in true key books.

This issue trades as a filler or run-builder for Lois Lane and Superman-title collectors assembling complete series runs rather than as a standalone investment piece. Lower and mid-grade raw copies move steadily but for modest sums, appealing to readers and budget-conscious Silver Age collectors, while high-grade certified copies — especially any that might reach a 9.8 — would command a rarity premium disproportionate to the book's content, reflecting census scarcity at the top end rather than storyline significance.
