Giant Man and The Chalengers of the Unknown
The Microverse certainly fits into the category of the unknown, so it's only natural that The Challengers would be interested in exploring it. Who better the serve as a tour guide than Hank Pym?
@Ross: I think this is a top-notch team-up. Not only for the premise. But, also, for a potential sequel involving Carl "the Crusher" Creel. Because I recently learned that, in the mainstream Marvel multiverse, everyone's favorite Absorbing Man has a cousin named...Rocky Davis!
Tee-hee...I couldn't help thinking that you could have had The Atom on the banner of names on the cover, but he's not visible...because he's shrunken smaller than we can see! lol...
CHALLENGERS OF THE UNKNOWN, along with DOOM PATROL and BLACKHAWK, was my first regular off-the-spinner-racks regular pick-up, back in my long-ago grade school days. I have always *always* felt that the Challs have been afforded (most unfairly, IMHO) short shrift in overall fannish esteem, since that title's initial cancellation.
Nowadays, they have evidently been reduced -- or so I've been told, at any rate -- to serving as, essentially, glorified maintenance and janitorial staff for the Justice League's Watchtower. Bah. :(
Who better? Well, let's see. There's Reed Richards, Ray Palmer, the crew of the CMDF Voyager...
ReplyDelete@Anon615: Whoa! Cynical, much?
