About the series
In 2004–2005, Howard Chaykin both wrote and illustrated this six-issue DC miniseries, a modern reimagining of the Challengers of the Unknown. Chaykin’s signature cynical, high-stakes adventure pits the team—alongside Batman, Catwoman, John Stewart, and Barry Allen—against a conspiracy that blurs the line between science and the supernatural. A sharp, character-driven take that updates the classic concept for a new era, it remains a standout for Chaykin’s distinctive storytelling and art.
