From Wikipedia:

The Question is a superhero in comic books published by DC Comics. The original was created by writer-artist Steve Ditko, and first appeared in Blue Beetle #1 (June 1967) from Charlton Comics. The character was acquired by DC Comics in the early 1980s and incorporated into the DC Universe. Following the events of the 2006ΓÇô2007 miniseries 52, his protege Renee Montoya took up his mantle and became his successor.

As conceived by Ditko, the Question was an adherent of Objectivism during his career as a minor Charlton hero, much like Ditko's earlier creation, Mr. A. In a 1987ΓÇô1990 solo series from DC, the character developed a Zen-like philosophy.

DC gave the Question his own acclaimed solo series in 1987, which was written by Dennis O'Neil and primarily drawn by Denys Cowan. The series was published for 36 issues, 2 annuals, and 5 "Quarterly" specials. In The Question #1, the Question was defeated in personal combat first by the martial arts mercenary, Lady Shiva, beaten near to death by the hiring villain's thugs, shot in the head with a pellet gun, and thrown into the river to drown. Lady Shiva then rescued him for reasons of her own and gave him directions to meet Richard Dragon as soon as he recovered enough to get out of bed. Once there, Sage learned both martial arts and eastern philosophy. When he returned to the city, he resumed his journalist and superhero careers with adventures that tended to illustrate various philosophic points. To further illustrate those ideas, Dennis O'Neil had a reading recommendation in the letters page of each issue.

In the O'Neil series, Vic Sage is an investigative reporter for the news station KBEL in Hub City, who uses the identity of the Question to get the answers his civilian identity cannot. Unlike other vigilante superheroes, O'Neil's Question is primarily focused on the politics of his city, and rather than hunting down the perpetrators of petty theft, he tends to fight the corrupt government of Hub City.

annother awesome UL! 1 of my fave series from the 80's!
Holy shit, I don't know what are they waiting for in the Vatican. We clearly have a winner.

Did you manage to get Dr. Fate or The Spectre (I'm not trying to hurry you, I'm curious because I have never found download links for those)
Thanks for compiling this, STF. This is awesome.
thx man! i'd actually searched tpb for this, to no avail, a couple months ago
good to know that these comics are reaching readers who enjoy and/or want 'em. :-)

i had a rough day, we had to have one of our pets euthanized. so it's nice to sit down and read your comments while downloading some more.
