Another Ditko created character.
Became a big fan of the Question with his appearances in Justice League Unlimited and 52. A seemingly-paranoid, unfriendly, no-nonsense investigator who has little time for anything other than the pursuit of truth. A Zen-like Batman with a Spirit inspired costume. An amazing character who would go on to inspire Alan Moore's Rorschach of Watchmen fame.
My fav Question story is "Wild Geese", which takes place in Justice League Unlimited #36.
The story has the Justice League not only disbelieve, but openly mock, his paranoid theories and purposely lead him off the trail to keep him out of their way. Every urban legend, every ridiculous story from around the world play a part in the Question's investigation, leading to a shocking final revelation. It's a lot of fun to read even if you see the end coming.

The Question
Captain Atom
With what has seemed like a relentless year of project after project, I've decided to take a break to spend more time with my family and just chill out. My son turns five tomorrow, my beautiful girlfriend also finishes up her final med exam for the year tomorrow and our second child is due in less then three weeks. Its all happening. If I did not take a break I was bound to snap.
Aside from spending time with my wonderful little family, this break has also lead to me reading ridiculous numbers of comics on Mondays while having the house to myself. Monday past I decided to dig out some old comic boxes in the garage and came across some Strange Tales issues, by Ditko and Steranko, that I picked up at a garage sale back in high school. Finding these resulted in me having a more than slight Ditko high for the remainder of the day. If you can, I recommend getting your hands on Ditko's Dr. Strange work.
The Ditko high lead to me raiding Kris' blog for pics of Ditko created characters which I saw on there earlier in the year. Though created by Steve Ditko, the design below is actually by Pat Broderick and is one of my fav character designs ever. I needed a fix and need to keep the coloring skills up to snuff, so I colored it up quickly tonight. Messing with a new palette of color once again as well.
