The Question #23
Winter
O'Neil/Cowan/Jones


As election day proceeds Dinsmore and his campaign manager send the Huns out to bribe homeless into voting for Dinsmore and intimidating and beating voters for Myra. Tot is among the victims. When Vic hears of Tot's injuries he leaves mid-broadcast. He is torn between doing his job to tell the truth or act to prevent Dinsmore from winning. He chooses to take action as The Question. He hospitalizes a few of the Huns and then uses his news broadcast to spread the rumor that they OD'ed from bad drugs. When the Savage Huns hear they turn on their employer leaving the streets safe for voters of all political persuasions. Vic goes to get a statement from the candidate. His first stop is Royal Dinsmore's headquarters. He arrives just as the Huns are about to burn the crooked politician alive. Vic steps in as the Question but he is soon overpowered. The bikers douse him in gasoline. Wesley Fermin accuses Myra of being a defeatist and a faithless communist. She gives him an acidic reply after which the mayor leaves to play with his pistol. All during the election shenanigans a large tornado makes a beeline for Hub City.
