THE QUESTION was originally a back-up feature, created by STEVE DITKO,  in THE BLUE BEETLE, published by CHARLTON COMICS, beginning in 1967.  It lasted only about 3 stories (plus one issue of the Charlton title MYSTERIOUS SUSPENSE in 1968, which contained another 3 stories), before Charlton exited the superhero biz.  DC COMICS acquired most of the Charlton titles in 1983; but not until February 1987 did DC COMICS revive a "new" version of the character, in issue #1 of THE QUESTION, as envisioned by DENNIS O'NEIL (although it is generally considered that the character of RORSCHACH in THE WATCHMEN comic book series by ALAN MOORE, published as a 12-issue miniseries in 1986 by DC COMICS, was a "reincarnation" of THE QUESTION, but in a different comics universe).  While STEVE DITKO's original interpretation of THE QUESTION was based upon the philosophy of OBJECTIVISM, the character as re-created by DENNIS O'NEIL evolves into a more spiritual, Eastern-based philosophy, which includes martial arts.  Both, however, agree that THE QUESTION is VIC SAGE, an investigative reporter (without superpowers), who dons the perma-skin facial uniform of THE QUESTION, to fight crime and corruption in a run-down, vice-ridden metropolitan city.  In a sense, THE QUESTION is a combination of reporter CLARK KENT (without his SUPERMAN abilities), and THE SPIRIT, by WILL EISNER (without the sense of humor).  The 1987 incarnation of THE QUESTION lasted only 36 issues plus 2 annuals; and has been revived sporadically by DC COMICS under several other creators.
