This May 1986 entry in DC's long-running Action Comics finds Superman squared off against a massive, hulking opponent in what appears to be a primitive, outdoor setting — smoke curling from a stone structure in the background hints at something ancient and unsettling. A horned-helmeted warrior crouches nearby, sword in hand, delivering the cover's memorably breezy quip: "Ho-hum! Another day, another enemy to kill!" The cover by Keith Giffen and Karl Kesel sets a tone that's equal parts adventure and dry wit, promising the time-spanning tale teased by the story title "Prisoners of Time!
