Rick Hoberg - The QUESTION

After the 1986 Question series ended with issue #36 in 1990. It was followed up with 5 issues of The Question Quarterly. In 1991 The Question co-starred with Green Arrow and the Butcher in a Brave & the Bold mini series. He made an appearance in a one-shot The Question Returns in 1996. He disappeared afterwards. In 1999 he appeared as a member of L.A.W. (Living Assault Weapons) with other Charlton Comics characters Blue Beetle, Judomaster, Captain Atom, The Peacemaker, Nightshade, and Sarge Steel. He disappeared again.

Then in 2004/2005 the Question had a resurgence of sorts... In 2005 he received a six issue mini series drawn by Tommy Lee Edwards and written by Rick Veith but more importantly he made an appearance in the Justice League Unlimited animated series. I loved the appearance and it was cool to see him in a cartoon, a Justice League cartoon to boot!!


Rick Hoberg, a solid artist with a classic illustrative style, known for Star Wars, All-Star Squadron and a host of other books gives us a beautifully rendered Question. The high contrast really makes this piece pop. I've always thought, given his style, Rick Hoberg was a Strip artist living in a comic book world.
