Look What I Found!

I was going through my files, in anticipation of some more posting here, and discovered I still had something I thought was long gone--the original art that Phil Foglio did to go with the Challengers of the Unknown submission I discussed here. At left is Phil's version of the Challs--Rocky, Ace, Red (wearing the cold-weather version of the uniform), and Prof.

And here are the villians I was planning to use in that initial story--Multi-Man, D-Man, Roc, the Gargoyle, and Mistress Wycker--all established foes of the team. The plot, as I recall, revolved around a threat to the Challs' loved ones, especially Ace and June's daughter, Maggie.
