What Is the Question Comic Series About?

The Question is a compelling DC Comics series starring Vic Sage, the faceless, philosophically-driven vigilante created by Steve Ditko. The 1987 ongoing series, which ran for 37 issues, was written by Denny O'Neil with art by Denys Cowan, and it's widely regarded as one of DC's most thoughtful street-level crime comics — heavily influenced by Objectivist philosophy and noir fiction. Vic Sage operates without a mask in the traditional sense; instead he uses a special gas and pseudoderm compound to render his face completely blank, making him one of comics' most visually striking heroes. Beyond the original series, Renee Montoya later took on the mantle of The Question, most notably following the events of the 52 weekly series.
