Publisher profile coming soon
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.
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.
The Sub-Mariner is exploring a seaport town where he happens by a plaza that is advertising a swimming show featuring champion swimmer Carl Wildmer. Wildmer happens to walk into Namor while the Atlantean prince is reading the billboard. When Wildmer tries to start a fight with Namor, the fight is broken up by passers by and Namor decides to see what sort of swimming skill Wildmer has and purchases a ticket to the show. As it turns out, Wildmer happens to offer five hundred dollars to the person who can beat Wildmer in a lap race. Namor accepts the challenge and not only beats Wildmer but humiliates him in the process. Winning the five hundred dollars without contest, Namor asks the manager of the competition to donate the money to War Emergency Fund. Just then, a Japanese sub just off short begins bombing the city. Hearing the attack, Namor rushes off to the ocean. He swims toward an American vessel and learns that they lost the sub. At that moment, a naval officer on the ship conning tower spots a swimmer heading in the direction of where the Japanese subs were coming from. Recognizing the man as Wildmer, Namor jumps into the water and swims after him. When Namor attempt to catch up to Wildmer, but is accidentally struck by a bomb dropped by a spotter plane trying to find the Japanese sub, knocking the Sub-Mariner out. Wildmer takes Namor prisoner and carries him to the Japanese sub. There the commander of the ship straps Namor to a torpedo and prepares to fire it at the American ship. Shot out of the torpedo tube. As he hits the water, Namor revives and redirects the torpedo back at the Japanese sub. The resulting explosion sinks the sub killing everyone on board.
