*DC: One of Jack Kirby’s last projects at DC before absconding to Marvel in the early 1960s was to co-create the Challengers of the Unknown, the tale of four daring adventurers who, having survived a disaster in common, were ‘Living on Borrowed Time’, and decided to devote that time to the betterment of others. After four try-out appearances in Showcase, Prof, Ace, Red and Rocky graduated to their own series, the first eight of which were drawn by Kirby, with inks by Wally Wood on the last four of those. Three of those issues new in this week. Tales of space, monsters, super-villains, magic, robots and the like, featuring June, the ‘honorary’ fifth Challenger.
