“The Secret Origin of the Golden Age Fury”

This 1987 DC anthology spotlights two fan-favorite teams, with the cover — penciled by Paris Cullins and inked by Karl Kesel — delivering a vivid double feature. The Challengers of the Unknown, clad in their signature purple jumpsuits, strike dynamic poses around a giant hourglass, while the Golden Age Fury bursts dramatically through its center in her striking black-and-yellow costume. Inside, Mark Evanier and Chuck Patton team up on the Challengers story, alongside a separate Golden Age Fury origin tale, making this a satisfying package for fans of DC's rich heroic legacy.
