The Question Quarterly
By Michael Vance
“I don’t believe in violence. But I don’t believe in being raped, either. So I’m walking around in the ruins of all my fine ideals, and I’m lost and lonely and desperate.”
Such is the underlying philosophy of “The Question”, a hard-edged, gritty look at the underbelly of society. The Question is a vigilante who dehumanizes himself to battle a dehumanizing city. In the current issue, he fights personal and impersonal demons to rush a dying child on the edge of death and the Brazilian rain forest to a Hub City hospital. She has no hope for life under the backwards medicine of South America.
Vic Sage is the face behind the mask, and his struggle is further complicated by an intriguing man named Marco. He prays to the patron saint of martial artists, Saint Bruce. And he saves Vic from almost certain death so that Marco can kill The Question, honorably.
It is not the only complication in this odd mixture of adventure, social comment, karate and pathos. And although young readers may buy the book for its jump kicks and captivating art, adults will find something more. The Question is engrossing stuff.
In what could be a stultifying superhero cliché, writer Dennis O’Neal and artist Denys Cowan forget flash over substance and take the reader inside Vic Sage, Marco, and Myra Fermin. It’s a fascinating study of heroism in the face of despair, of courage and horror growing from the same soil, and is certain proof that there are comics for adults that balance action with thought. Plot, dialog, characterization, and art all work together to make this a standout among comic books.
The only question left is why all comics aren’t this good.

A closer look at the sword (photograph by Allison Meier of atlasobscura.com) 3. (photograph by Qabluna/Flickr user) Alec submitted to medievalpoc: Saw this in person a while back and though it was pretty interesting that this person / his family thought the sword was important enough to put on his tomb effigy. It also is pretty clear evidence for contact, at least indirectly (not that that’s in question) between China and France. You can read an article about this sword here. OK, I’ve read the article, and it doesn’t make sense, given what the pictures show. Why is a French knight’s sword with a trefoil/fluer-de-lys pommel and an atypical but unremarkable crosspiece presented as Chinese? The article says something about the blade, but that isn’t even “visible”, the blade is hidden in the scabbard, which appears to have been carved to show it holding a standard straight medieval blade. I’m confused. It would be a neat find, but… "Being presented as Chinese”? Interesting choice of phrasing there… Maybe you should ask the Curator Emeritus of Arms and Armor at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, whose article is cited in THAT article: and quoted: Whether it was traded peacefully along the ancient Silk Road, or was carried by a raider on the conquering horses of the Mongols, whether Jean d’Alluye acquired it as an exotic collector’s item in the bazaar of some Levantine port, or took it as booty on a Syrian battlefield, we will never know. I mean, yeah, question what you read but also check the sources if you have questions. This isn’t smoke and mirrors, it’s research.
"...whitewash-brush to put it on with. The victim was then asked a question and if he answered it he got a good mouthfull of the mixture. He was then lathered and shaved with a razor made of an old saw blade after which they was thrown back into the tank and the hose played on him. This was finer amusement for the officers, who looked on, laughed at & enjoyed the whole performance. But we (the marines) made up our minds that they would not make laughing stocks of us. After shaving the sailors they waited on the orderly Sergt and asked if we would pay the fine or be shaved when he told them that we had made up our minds that we would do neither. They encouraged by some of the officers said they would shave us. We then rallied between two guns and told them that they should not take one of us, as several of them had clubs one or two of our boys drew their bayonets when but for the interference of the officers there would probably have been some blood spilt. They seeing that they could not take us on deck (although they mustered 200 or over to our 25) thought they would play the hose on us where we were. They then brought it down and when the water was let on they turned it on us thinking no doubt that we would stand and take it but in this they were mistaken for we pitched in and after a little "pushing out from the shoulders" we succeeding in taking the hose away from them..."
