Created by Steve Ditko, the Question first appeared in Blue Beetle #1, published by Charlton Comics in April 1967. Vic Sage was introduced in an eight-page back-up that would continue to appear in Blue Beetle for only a handful of issues, as the company stopped publishing their superhero line soon thereafter.
DC would buy the rights to the Charlton characters in the early 1980s, and the Question returned to comics in Crisis on Infinite Earths and then his own ongoing title in 1987.

Four Ditko covers from Charlton's UNUSUAL TALES. 1957-1959.
Excellent examples of Ditko's singular early approach to monsters, his ability to create a unique and atmospheric street scene, and his odd but darkly effective character designs. One wonders what Ditko thought (if he ever saw it) about the published version of the last cover, his bizarre and frightening sidewalk monster all but obscured by a giant, ugly promo blast advertising 8000 PRIZES.

VIC SAGE/THE QUESTION from DC COMICS (formerly CHARLTON COMICS)
JUSTIFICATION:
"Has a whole thing surrounding death and rebirth. She’s like constantly depersonalizing and talking about not really feeling like a “man” (in the personhood sense but still). A lot of her closest allies are sapphic women. She shows up in a lesbian bar in one panel. She probably still would have been killed and resurrected for shit philosophy crimes but it would make at least a smidge easier I think" - Anonymous

Actually, know what I'd like to do. I'd like to see a superhero team comprised of characters from all the companies DC bought out. Maybe I can turn my Canadian Justice League into this. Add in Captain Marvel/Shazam and some other Fawcett folks, Blue Beetle and The Question stuff from Charlton, Plastic Man from Quality, etc. Because DC got those characters in a way that I don't like, and it's time that we do some punching back. Restore the old characters to their old pinnacle! See if we can't find a place for them in this new era.

I put Mr. A infront of Rorschach because while it takes an insane man to believe the works of Ayn Rand, it takes an even more insane man to yap about those philosophies to others
