The Question Returns In Charlton's Mysterious Suspense #1, at Auction
The Question is one of the most underutilized characters in comics, no matter which version you are discussing. My grandfather talked about Vic Sage so much that I thought he was a real person when I was younger, and I spent many an afternoon reading his adventures with him. He had a particular fondness for his early Steve Ditko appearances though, like this copy of Mysterious Suspense #1 from 1968, a CGC 8.5 taking bids at Heritage Auctions today. His copy was well read by the time I got my hands on it, and it would tickle him to know I was writing this today. This copy if the book is at $78 right now, and you can see it below.
