Publisher’s description

Mysterious Suspense is Ditko's first full-length Question story following on from the short backup tales published in Blue Beetle. Here he gives full reign to his Randian philosophy with the character who was the precursor to his own Mr A and the model for Alan Moore's Rorschach. As the Question, crusading reporter Vic Sage uncovers corruption in a man who wants to be his sponsor. Unwilling to compromise his morals, Sage refuses the offer, kicking off a political nightmare that could have dire consequences for Sage and those around him.
