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.
A pricing discrepancy between an auction listing and the prevailing cleared consensus value across organized exchanges, allowing rapid liquidity capture before market equilibrium reconverges.
Notices go up all over town that the Seven Soldiers will be performing at a big charity event - except that not one of the heroes knows anything about it. They decide to go along with it to see what the gag is, and confront the organizer, Menzac, after the performance, afraid he might be trying to make a getaway with the charity funds. Instead, he tells them the charity show was just a pretext to ask for their help with a sizable problem. He represents the Wizard of Wisstark, ruler of a city in the south pole heated by "radioactive elements" underground. Menzac takes them to Wisstark in a strange bottle-like craft, where they meet the Wizard, the ruler of the city. He turns out to be an American expat, who knows some stage illusions that got the locals to declare him their leader. However, nearby is another civilization, Stanovia, that's ruled by a group of actual wizards, who he's convinced will attack at any time. The Wizard of Wisstark has the Seven Soldiers split up to each lead a plot to help defend Wisstark.

When the Seven Soldiers read and hear about themselves supposedly donating their services to charity, they smell a rat. They are taken by a strange aircraft to see the Wizard Of Wisstark, actually a stage magician, who wants them to travel to Stanovia to battle real wizards who want to prevent its inhabitants from enjoying true democracy.
The Kid and Stripesy head to the mountains to encounter the giants that the Wizard of Wisstark would like to have join him in the battle against the three wizards, but all they succeed in doing is getting moving pictures of them.
The Battling Bowmen arrive in Stanovia to seek out the three wizards and learn of their plans which include retrieving the strange aircraft in the possession of the Wizard of Wisstark.
The Crimson and Wing are on the alert for 5th Column activities within the walls of Wisstark, and very soon they are attacked by invisible opponents who have succeeded in re-capturing the strange aircraft the three wizards seek.
Vigilante must unravel and stop an attempt by the three wizards to replace the real Wizard of Wisstark with a look-alike.
The Knight's assignment is to take on the three wizards on the field of battle, but he needs an army for that task and he gets one: an army bedecked in wooden armor.
The Seven Soldiers and their forces engage the Wizards of Stanovia and their legions in a fight to the finish and defeat them by using their own tricks against them.
