Supergirl Vol4 #79 & #80 - Cover B - Ed Benes Variant - Homage to Crisis on Infinite Earths #7

Cover B - Ed Benes Variant

We are including the next issue #80 with this Key Cover 

Supergirl Vol. 4 #79 has gained significant value due to a combination of several collectible factors. One major factor is its role as a key issue in the storyline "Many Happy Returns," written by Peter David and featuring artwork by Ed Benes. This issue is important because it involves the dramatic death of Supergirl, which makes it highly memorable and sought after by collectors. The cover, depicting Supergirl in a crisis-like situation, pays homage to the iconic "Crisis on Infinite Earths #7" cover, adding further nostalgia and collectible appeal.

The issue also has several versions with varying values, depending on their condition. For instance, graded versions (such as CGC 9.8) of Supergirl #79 have sold for prices ranging from $109.95 to $163 recently, indicating its collectible value when in top condition. The comic's rarity has been further enhanced by the relatively low print runs typical for late issues in a series like this, making it harder to find in good condition, and therefore more valuable to collectors​

Additionally, the involvement of popular creators like Peter David and Ed Benes, who have strong fan followings, adds to the demand. The storyline, which features crossover appearances by characters like Superman and the Spectre, contributes to its importance within the DC Universe continuity​
