Publisher profile coming soon
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.
In August 1918, German biplanes are dropping bombs on London, and British Sopwith Camels are intercepting them. A daylight raid is repelled but that night a giant zeppelin arrives over the Channel, bound for London. Lt. Culley takes off, from a barge in the Channel, in a Sopwith Camel, and engages this airship, at 20,000 feet. That's higher than a Sopwith Camel, or its pilot, could operate, and Culley knows this going in, but in he goes. He soon is freezing and half-conscious from oxygen loss, and his plane is handling like a wet kite, but the enemy is aloft in an enormous hydrogen balloon, so that shoot-out ends explosively. By great good luck and a quick and skillful ground crew's assistance, Culley is able to land at night on an ill-lit field, and would be able to walk away from the landing, if his squadron mates weren't carrying him on their shoulders!

The Blackhawks raid a Russian spy house and a fight ensues. Amid the chaos, Russian Colonel Nichevo and some men take Olaf away into the Soviet Union. There, he is brainwashed by Dr. Kurov into becoming a saboteur and spy for the reds.
The story of a World War I battle between British Lt. S.D. Culley and his Sopwith Camel fighter plane against a great German zeppelin.
Tavis, a defense contractor to the nations of the free world, demonstrates a new “ducted-fan aircraft” (an individual flying platform) to Blackhawk and his men. Ushering them aboard a larger version of the craft that seats all seven Blackhawks, Tavis (from a safe vantage point) activates a remote control that spirits them off to an unnamed Communist nation. There, the waiting General Molok, a dictator and would-be filmmaker, forces the Blackhawks to perform in a propaganda film - with deadly consequences for the Magnificent Seven.
The Blackhawks close in on the jungle hideout of wanted criminal Durie, only to find it defended by a squad of armed men... and the Oglutes, "...the last, and worst, of the untamed head-hunters".
250 years before, the infamous pirate, Morgan, attempted to land on an island to bury his war booty, but was driven away. Now, to commemorate 250 years of freedom, the islanders of Hermoso invite the Blackhawks to the celebration. However, a real, evil pirate of sorts named Morgg intervenes and stages a real invasion.
