About this omnibus

The Question by Dennis O'Neil & Denys Cowan Omnibus Vol. 1 collects the acclaimed late-1980s reinvention of Vic Sage — the faceless investigative-journalist vigilante who directly inspired Watchmen's Rorschach. After a near-fatal beating by Lady Shiva, Vic is trained by Richard Dragon in martial arts and Zen, turning a rigid crusader into a man who questions his own methods. It's a mature, philosophical crime drama set in corrupt Hub City, praised for O'Neil's literary writing and Cowan's expressionistic art — including issue #17, where Vic reads Watchmen and confronts his own successor.

The Joker: The Bronze Age Omnibus

The Joker: The Bronze Age Omnibus

The Joker’s Bronze Age stories capture the character after camp has curdled back into danger. The smile is still theatrical, but the menace grows sharper, with creators like Dennis O’Neil, Martin Pasko, Irv Novick, Jim Aparo and José Luis García-López shaping a Joker who can be absurd, stylish and genuinely frightening in the same breath.

Description

Background. The Question is Vic Sage, an aggressive TV journalist in the fictional and deeply corrupt Hub City who fights crime behind a featureless mask. Created by Steve Ditko for Charlton and later absorbed into the DC Universe, he became the model for Watchmen's Rorschach — and Denny O'Neil and Denys Cowan made something richer of him.

What's inside. This first omnibus collects The Question (1987) #1–27, plus The Question Annual #1, Green Arrow Annual #1 and Detective Comics Annual #1. Early on, Vic is beaten by Lady Shiva and trained by Richard Dragon in martial arts and Eastern philosophy — the near-death experience that transforms him from an angry crusader into an introspective figure who questions his own morality. Art by Denys Cowan.

Why it's worth it. It's a landmark of the late-1980s "adult, deconstructive superhero" wave, alongside Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns — a philosophical, politically charged urban crime drama. It even confronts its own legacy in issue #17, "A Dream of Rorschach." The run that lastingly elevated The Question.

Edition details. 916 pages. US edition published by DC Comics. ISBN 9781779515476.
