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.
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.
A PT Boat out in the South Pacific finds a paratrooper who is lost at sea and has completely lost his mind. In response the military plans another drop in the area to determine what might have caused the failure of the catatonic soldiers mission. A group of paratroopers are deployed, however while flying over the ocean they are attacked by a Pterodactyl that rips their plane in two sending the soldiers spilling into the water below. Before they parachute safely into the water the Pterodactyl attempts to attack them again but is taken out by their grenades. They find that the water isn't quite as safe either as they are attacked by a sea creature, however it becomes food for another Pterodactyl. Using their downed planes wing as a raft, the soldiers recover their bazooka when they are attacked by another Dinosaur. They manage to kill the beast by firing a rocket into it's neck. When a few Air Force fighters attempt to pass by the region they are attacked by another sea creature, which the soldiers manage to kill with their bazooka. Wading to a tiny island nearby, the soldiers find the land at risk when yet another Dinosaur attempts to feed upon the island, however a passing US fighter plane drops a bomb on it killing the beast as well. Shortly thereafter they are rescued when a US Naval sub is called in to pull them out of the area.

A paratrooper is fished from the ocean, haunted and catatonic. A new group of paratroopers is sent out on the same route to find the menace, "Flying Guinea Pigs". They're attacked by pterodactyls, giant eels, lambeosaurs, and more, in the sky and water. Grenades and help from a fighter plane send the dinos packing, and the "guinea pigs" are picked up by a PT boat.
A new "tinfish tender" on a sub is assigned torpedoes 1 and 2. He waits for the order as battle with a Japanese cruiser rages above and below. But when he fires his torps, the first one circles and damages the sub's rudder, and the second bumps along the hull. Feeling it's his fault, the sailor dons frogman gear and guides the torp through depth charges and shellfire to sink the Japanese cruiser. The sub's "secret weapon" is a "human torpedo"!
Sgt Rock thanks many letter writers by name, then answers questions about ratings on WW2 subs; squad leader orders; and the FH-1 Phantom, first jet to land on a carrier.
An aging World War I gunner wants to fly one last mission against the Nazis. The captain doesn't like it, but says it's too late to turn back. "Pop" does a decent job, but when the plane is damaged and the flight crew incapacitated, there is no one left to fly the plane -- except "Pop."
