DC Challenge #7

In "The DC Challenge, Phase Seven: Don't Bogart That Grape... ...Hand Me the Gas Pump!", Bob Greenberger and Rick Hoberg deliver a quirky, character-driven story set within DC's 1986 continuity, spotlighting a moment of tension and humor that feels both grounded and delightfully absurd. The issue features letters from readers across the globe—Elliot Maggin, Marc Gerin-Lajoie, Bill Middleton, and James Wallis—adding a unique, real-world layer to the fictional world, all rendered with the crisp detail of Rick Hoberg’s art and Dick Giordano’s inks. Joe Staton and Steve Mitchell’s cover captures the energy of the moment with a sharp, dynamic design.
