Challengers Of the Unknown (1-6)
Howie Chaykin

from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challengers_of_the_Unknown

The Challengers of the Unknown is a group of fictional characters first drawn by Jack Kirby for DC Comics. This quartet of adventurers explored science fictional and apparent paranormal occurrences and faced fantastic menaces. The group debuted in Showcase #6 (February 1957) as acquaintances who miraculously survived a plane crash unscathed. They concluded that since they were “living on borrowed time”, they should band together for hazardous adventures. The four — Kyle “Ace” Morgan, Matthew “Red” Ryan, Leslie “Rocky” Davis, and Walter Mark “Prof” Haley — became the Challengers of the Unknown.

One more revamp was Howard Chaykin’s Volume 4 miniseries (2004-2005) of 6 isses. On a world without superheroes, five troublemakers - a blogger, hip hop artist, eco-terrorist, etc. - discovered they’d been genetically enhanced and chip-programmed to be soldier-pawns. The villains are the Hegemony, a cabal of billionaires who secretly ran the world. Made slaves on a Moon base, three Challengers blew up the base, escaped to Earth, and declared war on the Hegemony until (like the obliquely-mentioned earlier Challengers) their “borrowed time” runs out.

This has been collected in trade paperback: Challengers of the Unknown: Stolen Moments, Borrowed Time.

Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser September 30, 2006

Posted by AxeMan808 in : AxeMan808, Comics, Marvel, ProjectW.org ,

From mskouloudis @ ProjectW

Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser (1-4)
Adapted from the Fritz Leiber novels.
Writer: Howie Chaykin
Artist: Mike Mignola

from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fafhrd_and_the_Gray_Mouser

One of Leiber’s original motives was to have a couple of fantasy heroes closer to true human stature than the likes of Howard’s Conan the Barbarian or Burroughs’s Tarzan. Fafhrd is a tall northern barbarian; Mouser is a small, mercurial thief. Both are rogues through and through… but theirs is a decadent world where you have to be a rogue to survive. They spend a lot of time drinking, feasting, wenching, brawling, stealing, and gambling, and are seldom fussy about who they hire out their swords to. But they are humane and—most of all—relish true adventure.

In 1991, Epic Comics published a four-issue comic book adaptation of seven of the stories: “Ill Met in Lankhmar” (issue 1), “The Circle Curse” and “The Howling Tower” (issue 2), “The Price of Pain Ease” and “Bazaar of the Bizarre” (issue 3), and “Lean Times in Lankhmar” and “When the Sea King’s Away” (issue 4). The comics were scripted by Howard Chaykin, who had drawn several issues of the earlier DC title, and pencilled by Mike Mignola, whose Hellboy comic book often has a similar feel to Leiber’s work. Hellboy himself shares some personality traits with Fafhrd. Mignola also did the jacket covers and interior art for the White Wolf collection.

Lone Wolf 2100 (1-11 + The Red file)
Mike Kennedy & Francisco Ruiz Velasco
Dark Horse

Info from: http://www.neurobellum.com/visionthread/lonewolf.htm

Plunge into the dystopian world one hundred years in the future, where human-like “Emulation Constructs” fight to enjoy the same rights as their human creators, where the vast majority of the world’s human population struggles in a hostile landscape, and where both sides are victim to corporate whim and the deadly effects of a manmade plague. A young girl may hold the key to salvation, and only her EmCon guardian can protect her from the forces that would see the cure destroyed.
A ground-up re-imagining of the original Lone Wolf and Cub manga, this series was done under the watchful eye of Kazuo Koike, the writer and co-creator of Lone Wolf and Cub.

Lone Wolf 2100 01-11 (plus The Red File) (~55mb)

Ok… like I always say, I HATE Bachalos art on this one… but this issue, although every site states it was pencilled by Bachalo… it was pencilled by Clay Henry, and it looks great. Finally you can make a distinction between the characters
