A picture of two men attacking Superman. One man is firing his gun while the other man swings a katana sword. The bullets bounce off of Superman and the sword bends. Cursive text in the background reads "Dhammapada 391: They who do no evil in deed, word, and thought, who are restrained in these three ways- they are the Ones I call Holy. 336: Whoever overcomes the craving of those given to heedless living, cravings so difficult to overcome, sorrows fall away from them like water drops from the leaf of a lotus." . I drew this in one sitting with only a pen and no pencil/planning. . Clark Kent/Superman ©️ writer Jerry Siegel & artist Joe Shuster
