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.
A masked villain calling himself the Brick Bat approaches an underworld scientist to collect his custom weaponry: bricks filled with a deadly gas, whose efficacy he tests by killing the scientist with them. Soon, Dan Dyce is allowed to read a newspaper story by the warden about the Brick Bat, who's gone on a robbery spree, killing anyone who tries to stop him with gas-filled bricks. His sense of justice enflamed, Dyce waits until that night and becomes 711 to track down the Brick Bat. 711 does indeed come upon the villain, leaving the scene of his latest murder/robbery. Brick Bat hurls his namesake weapon at 711, who manages to position himself so it goes through a window behind him and doesn't break open from hitting a solid wall. After a few good punches from 711, the unconscious Brick Bat's delivered to the police, and soon on his way to the same prison 711 calls home.

Because he was a model prison, Dyce is awarded freedoms, including being a trustee and working in the prison offices where he had access to the daily news.

On one such venture, he meets his first masked foe, The Brick Bat, who had forced a scientist to create a lethal brick which released a deadly gas upon impact.
Chic breaks up a gambling racket in order to rescue a fellow newsman, who sees through his Sword disguise.
The cigar-chomping Brawn returns unrepentant, and during a battle, Gassin Gert uses her gas gun and Brawn falls on a spike and dies......but not before Plas revealed his secret identity to her.
The Mouthpiece has to track down a gang of brutal thugs, headed by Professor Snook, who took a plunge over a castle wall rather than be captured.
The Phantom Lady stops a spy from stealing a plane and getting away with valuable information.
