The birth of superheroes. Superman, Batman, Captain America, and Wonder Woman debut. Comics became a mass medium.
Extreme scarcity drives value. Condition sensitivity is paramount — even low-grade copies of key issues command five figures.
Joe Simon
In illiquid alternative asset markets, sovereign blue-chip holdings trade at an exponential multiple over mid-grade float due to institutional accumulation and inelastic seller reservation prices.
Continued from last issue.... Still hunted by the police, the Human Torch scours the city searching for clues that will help him capture the racketeer boss known only as J.B. Seeing one of his fellow officers on patrol in an asbestos suit, the Torch subdues him and forces him to give over the suit so that he can wear it as a disguise and swears him to silence. Returning to the police station, the Torch reveals himself to the commissioner and demands to know who J.B. is. The Commissioner explains that while they know that J.B. is the leader of the rackets, they don't know the criminal's true identity and say that if the Torch can capture J.B. they can clear his name and reinstate him as a police officer. Unknown to the Torch the Commissioners Dictaphone had been bugged by Cinalli, a criminal lawyer who is working for J.B. After escaping police capture, the Torch is spotted by Cinalli who attempts to rouse the police to capture him. The Torch trips Cinalli up and searches his pockets finding a coded note and the key to translate it learning that J.B.'s men intend on robbing the Krantz Metalworks on the water front. Before speeding off to the waterfront, the Torch informs the commissioner on the plotted crime. There, the Torch knocks out the men responsible and spots their leader on a near by boat. It turns out to be Jane Bradley, daughter of crooked politician Nick Bradley. The Torch chases them into the harbor where they attempt to escape by diving into the water. However a police boat arrives and arrests them. When the Torch explains to the commissioner that Jane is really J.B., the commissioner already knows, explaining to the Torch that Cinalli told them everything in interrogation. He is also proud to inform the Torch that he has been reinstated as a police officer.
