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... With Betty locked up with the Hulk, the leader of the Lords of the Lightning hopes that it will prove to be a bargaining chip to force General Ross to do his bidding. However, when the Hulk revives he remembers Betty as a friend, and Betty begins trying to talk the Hulk into helping free the base. Members of the Lords of Lightning storm into the room and blast the Hulk with their lightning weapons causing him to change back into Bruce Banner. Betty faints. Meanwhile, Glenn Talbot manages to overpower one of the guards and take on his guise. The rest of the Lords flee the Air Force base to enact the next part of their plan. Talbot rounds up Banner, Betty and General Ross. Banner appeals to Ross that the Hulk is the only one powerful enough to stop the Lords of the Living Lightning who are now getting ready to deploy their stockpile of missiles at their secret base. Using a duplicate of his old Gamma Ray device, Bruce bombards himself with Gamma radiation once more triggering his transformation into the Hulk. The Hulk then leaps to the Lords of the Living Lightning's base, and attacks them head on, causing their missiles to detonate within their base, destroying it totally, seemingly killing all the Lords, and leaving everyone to believe that the Hulk is dead as well.

Official witnessed creator-signed slabs (Yellow label). Valued based on creator historical stature and inscription provenance.
Certified specimens from landmark historical collections (Edgar Church / Mile High, White Mountain, Kansas City, Pacific Coast).

Regional price test market copies (Canadian 75¢/95¢ variants, Marvel 30¢/35¢ test variants). Highly coveted micro-population rarities.
Exclusively allocated copies requiring retailer orders of 1:25, 1:50, 1:100, or 1:500 standard copies. Immediate manufactured scarcity.
Unslabbed collector copies inspected under standard Overstreet physical guidelines. The primary pool for grading arbitrage.
Alternative artistic interpretations, virgin covers, metal foil, and convention exclusives with dedicated collector followings.

Foreign editions (licensed through Panini, Urban Comics, Editorial Novaro, Novedades, Otto Simon, etc.) represent physical tradeable instruments in international secondary markets. Geographic scarcity and currency differentials drive global cross-border arbitrage.

With the military base under control of the Lord of the Living Lightning and the threat of a deadly missile barrage looming, it is up to the Hulk and Talbot to retake the installation and beat back the Living Lightning troops. The Hulk succeeds in stopping his foe but has to blow up the military base to do it.
Namor awakens in the ruins of Atlantis only to find that his army has taken off to start a war with the surface world. They plan on activating their latest and most dangerous weapon, the Hurricane Inducer, but the machine has not been tested and Namor fears that it will cause great harm to friend and foe alike. With his subjects already thinking him a traitor for allying with the piratical Plunderer, Namor doesn't do his tarnished rep any favors when he is caught destroying the Atlantean's most powerful weapon. With the inducer destroyed, the Atlanteans decide to return home.
