We can trace both Looking Glass and Rorschach back to their comic book forerunner, the Question.

It’s a minor detail in an episode that also features psychic squid attacks and clone dog incineration, but for fans of the Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons comic books on which the show is based, it is a significant detail. When Looking Glass, aka Wade Tillman , shovels cold beans into his mouth, readers recall a similar meal enjoyed by Rorschach, the nihilistic detective from the original comic.

We have not yet been given a plot reason for the physical similarities between Looking Glass and Rorschach—is Wade a fan, or does he see himself as Rorschach’s mirror image? But we can trace both of them back to Rorschach’s comic book forerunner, the Question., the Question is a faceless crime fighter in a blue fedora and trenchcoat.

series with a very different take on the detective. The first issue begins like a Ditko-era tale, with Vic Sage discovering a new wrong and punishing evildoers as the Question, but it ends with him being shot in the head and left for dead. Somehow, Vic survives, and the next 40-plus issues follow the Question as he abandons objectivism for the more peaceful and complex precepts of Zen Buddhism. O’Neill and Cowan never show Vic fully completing his transformation.
