Marvel revolution. Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Steve Ditko create the modern superhero. Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, X-Men debut.
The sweet spot for collectors — significant enough to be culturally important, scarce enough to be valuable. 9.8 copies are extremely rare.
Silver Age (1956–1970) — the era that redefined the superhero genre. Scientific themes, moral complexity, and Stan Lee's Marvel revolution define this period. High-grade copies command aggressive premiums.

The issue begins with Tony Stark transforming the Freak back into Happy Hogan with the Enervator, while Pepper waits behind a protective wall. Meanwhile, the Unicorn is getting dosed by a machine called the Hyper-Activator with the purpose of increasing his strength and power; even though the scientists present want to shut it down as he is getting a very large dose, the Unicorn tells them not to. After ripping the table he had laid on off of the floor and getting a redesigned costume, with the protection elements eliminated and the power horn made more powerful, the Unicorn takes his leave of the scientists, as the Hyper-Activator freed him from the brainwashing he had undergone. The Unicorn sets his sights on a scientific congress to get his hands on a cure for the negative side effects of the Hyper-Activator's treatment, a congress that Tony Stark is attending. The Unicorn terrorizes the attendants with his new powers, making demands in front of the television cameras present, until Stark manages to hide away long enough to change into his Iron Man armor. The two begin to fight, with Iron Man bringing the fight outside and eventually crushing the Unicorn's power belt and tossing it in the nearby river, provoking the deranged Unicorn to dive after it. Iron Man tries to save him, but the Unicorn has disappeared.
