The Question Annual #1

The oversized annual format gave Dennis O'Neil, Denys Cowan, and Rick Magyar extra room to stretch the Question's morally complex world in 1988, and the cover — penciled by Cowan and inked by Bill Sienkiewicz — sets a confident, street-level tone. Two figures stride forward against a stylized cityscape: a casually dressed man with tousled hair in a blue open shirt, and a boldly accessorized woman in a red jacket and layered gold jewelry, both carrying themselves with quiet intensity. Labeled "Fables, Part III," this is a chapter in a larger arc, and that duo framed against the urban skyline suggests the kind of grounded, character-driven storytelling that made this run one of DC's most distinctive mature-readers titles.
