The Question #27

In "Captain Stars & Sergeant Stripes," The Question confronts a bizarre claim from his cousin: that American comic books somehow won World War II. With the surreal premise grounded in a quiet moment of hope, the story finds The Question guiding Alvin through a surreal sequence that brings Myra back from her coma—just as a strange, symbolic dream begins to unfold. Written by Dennis O'Neil and illustrated with sharp, expressive art by Denys Cowan, Rick Stasi, and inks by Malcolm Jones III and Terry Beatty, this 1989 issue blends surrealism and introspection, with Tatjana Wood’s colors and Willie Schubert and Milt Snapinn’s lettering adding to its distinctive, offbeat tone. The cover, by Denys Cowan, captures the story’s dreamlike tension in bold, striking lines.
