DC Challenge #6

DC Challenge was a twelve-issue limited series published by DC Comics between 1985 and 1986, conceived as a narrative experiment where each issue was written and illustrated by a different creative team. The project operated under a unique 'exquisite corpse' format, where each writer had to resolve the cliffhanger left by their predecessor while simultaneously creating a new one for the next creator, testing the continuity and collaborative spirit of the publisher's roster during the post-Crisis on Infinite Earths transition.

The sixth issue, published in 1986, featured a script by Mary Jo Duffy and artwork by Dan Spiegle. The series design was orchestrated by editor Jenette Kahn to celebrate the breadth of the DC Universe, bringing together disparate characters from different genres. While the series is remembered today for its logistical complexity and the novelty of its rotating creative roster, contemporary reception noted it as a bold if erratic stylistic exercise that highlighted the challenges of maintaining a cohesive long-form narrative amidst constant handoffs.
