Publisher profile coming soon
Comics grow darker and more socially aware. Wolverine, Punisher, Swamp Thing debut. Creator-driven storytelling emerges.
Newsstand variants carry meaningful scarcity premiums. First appearances from this era are blue-chip investments.
A pricing discrepancy between an auction listing and the prevailing cleared consensus value across organized exchanges, allowing rapid liquidity capture before market equilibrium reconverges.
With the help of Brother Eye, OMAC tracks down and captures wanted criminal Marshal Kirovan Kafka. He brings him back to a GPA court of justice on Mount Everest. Kafka warns them that his "avenger" is coming for him. Unwilling to risk the safety of the facility, OMAC takes an airship and tries to locate Kafka's avenger. He finds one of the madman's creations, a hideous creature that functions as a living atomic reactor. This "Multi-Killer" destroys OMAC's airship and Brother Eye decreases his density so he can float safely to the ground. As the Multi-Killer draws nearer to the court of justice, OMAC notices that it is ready to overload with atomic energy. He blinds the beast with a broken piece of mountaintop, skewering its trajectory. The creature begins flying wildly and rises high into the sky where it explodes.
