Silver Age: Challengers of the Unknown #1

Part of DC's 2000 "Silver Age" event, this one-shot drops the Challengers of the Unknown — four daring figures in their signature yellow-and-red uniforms — into a gauntlet of bizarre, snarling monsters that crowd every inch of Joe Kubert's cover. A pale, green-clad villain looms menacingly above the team while creatures ranging from a fanged shark-beast to a winged predator press in from all sides, perfectly capturing the thrilling danger promised by the tagline asking whether Chronos has finally robbed the Death Cheaters of their borrowed time. Karl Kesel and artist Drew Johnson deliver an all-new tale styled as a loving nod to Silver Age DC adventure.
