Superman #659
In "Angel," Superman reflects on a pivotal moment when Barbara Johnson, saved from a drunk driver, believed he was an angel sent to protect her. Her faith in him grows as she takes bold stands against the local gang, even when he’s unable to reach her in time. Written by Kurt Busiek and Fabian Nicieza, with art by Carlos Pacheco and Peter Vale, and a cover by Al Barrionuevo, this 2007 issue explores the quiet, lasting impact of hope—and the weight of belief in a hero who wonders if he’s truly making the world better.
