“Yesterday's Clues!”

In "Yesterday's Clues!", the not-yet-Challengers gather in Rocky's apartment, navigating everyday life while shadows of past missions linger. As tensions rise over a mysterious jet sabotage, each member shares a revealing memory—Ace questioning if he’s the target, Red recalling a near-fatal mission in South America, and Professor Haley revealing a long-buried family rift tied to a lost fortune and a cousin named Freddie. With secrets unraveling and a confession looming, the team’s bond is tested before the next chapter begins. Written by Bob Rozakis and brought to life with crisp precision by Alex Toth, Frank Giacoia, and Carl Gafford, this issue features a striking cover by Ross Andru and Keith Giffen, inked by Dick Giordano and Romeo Tanghal.
