“Enemies as Numerous as Grains of Sand”

In "Enemies as Numerous as Grains of Sand," Superman faces a deadly assault by a coalition of villains while vulnerable, forcing Wonder Woman and Superboy to spirit him to a hidden sanctuary. Lana Lang arrives unexpectedly to lend her support, adding a personal touch to the high-stakes effort to heal the Man of Steel. Written by Chuck Austen and brought to life by Ivan Reis’s dynamic art, with colors by Guy Major and inks by Marc Campos, this 2004 issue captures a rare moment of vulnerability for Superman, all under a striking cover by Arthur Adams.
