Thanks for posting this @mrp. I'll add my own best wishes (for whatever that's worth).

I loved Cowan's version of the Question, and I consider his warrior-philosopher to be the definitive version of the character, not Dikto's Randian thug. It was also my first introduction to truly mature comics; i.e. 'mature' not just in terms of sexual and violent content, but 'mature' in terms of themes explores. And it was the only comic I know that came with a suggested reading list for each issue, if you wanted to explore the philosophical themes further.

Get well soon Denys.

Yeah, The Question series was a big part of me starting to branch out and seek out comics which explored the possibilities of the medium. It was babysteps for me at that time, but if I didn't take those first steps I would have been on the path to discover all the wonderful stuff I did later on. And the letters pages for this book was one of the few I felt were worth the time to read, especially for those reading lists. I last reread the run in 2002 when I was home recovering* from abdominal surgery to repair a perforated colon, so it may be time to revisit them again soon (I've been thinking about doing that since Cowan & Bill S. returned to the character with Jeff Lemire for the Black Label book)

*that 2002 reading list was quite a diverse group of opposites, besides that Question run it was the last time I read the full run of Transmet and the the Essential volumes covering the entire Ditko & Romita runs of Amazing Spidey.

I liked his work on Power Man And Iron Fist, he did a great Sabretooth! Hope he is well.
