Challengers of the Unknown #6
In "Stolen Moments, Borrowed Time - Part Six," the remaining members of the Challengers of the Unknown—Harte, Crosse, Starr, and Crowne—find themselves trapped on the moon, their actions manipulated by the Hegemony’s control chips, yet haunted by visions of their fallen comrade Zach. As tensions erupt over Tessa’s demand that Crowne serve as a surrogate, a sudden surge of post-hypnotic resistance frees them, leading to a desperate escape in a shuttle as the moon base collapses behind them. Written and illustrated by Howard Chaykin, with cover art by Chaykin and Rian Hughes, this pivotal chapter sees the survivors vow to carry on as the new Challengers of the Unknown.

Harte, Crosse, Starr, and Crowne are on the moon, implanted with control chips by the Hegemony, but visions of the deceased Zach nudge them. When Tessa objects to Price’s demand that Crowne be a surrogate mother for her child, everyone is freed by their post-hypnotic suggestion! Tessa concedes but Harte threatens to shoot her and the child. Price shoots Tessa herself. The three survivors shoot their way out, jump into a shuttle, and blast off. Over radio, Price threatens them as the moon base explodes. (Did they detonate a nuke?) On Earth, they vow to fight as new Challengers of the Unknown.
