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.
No narrative synopsis recorded in GCD for this sequence.
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.
The Young Allies are walking home one night when they come across a decapitated body in a dark alley. Checking his credentials, Bucky learns that he is Henry J. Cyrus a local shipbuilder. The boys all recognize that his death is a serious blow on the war effort and spot some suspicious men fleeing down the other end of the alley. As they pursue, they realize that the men they are chasing are Japanese and suspect that they might be enemy spies. They catch up to Cyrus' killers and attack, but the Allies are soon shocked when their leader arrives: He is called the head, and rightly so, as he is nothing more than a disembodied head on a specially built life support device that flies him about. The Allies are overpowered and are about to be decapitated when Toro quickly rushes at their would-be killer with his flame on, forcing them to flee. As they flee they drop a list of names of their next set of targets. Among the names are Doctor Paul Atwell, General Douglas MacArthur, and Philippine resistance fighter Torin Quezzon. With this list, the Young Allies vow to stop the Head and rush to the aid of the next victim on their list. This is Dr. Paul Atwell, who has just finished a new experimental drug called Vitamin X that will increase the performance of American soldiers. His is soon confronted by the Head and his minions. When the Young Allies arrive to try and stop them, they fail to prevent the Heads minions from decapitating Atwell and escaping with his severed head. The Head and his men escape in an aircraft, and the Young Allies follow after them in a plane as well to their next destination -- Australia to prevent the assassination of General Thornton. Arriving at the American base in Australia, the Young Allies manage to sneak into General Thronton's office in an attempt to warn him. No understanding what the Young Allies are talking about, the general is soon called to an outpost where a report has come in that Colonel Hanley was struck by lightning. With no clouds in the sky, the Young Allies suspect a trap and follow after the General. As they suspected, the call is a trap and they once more fail to stop the Head and his men from decapitating Thornton. When the Young Allies try to stop him, he tosses the head of Colonel Hanley at them and then flees the scene with his men. As the Japanese agents escape, they take Jef, Tubby, and Whitewash prisoner. As Bucky, Toro and Knuckles follow after them in their own plane, the Head pilots his craft to the Philippines where he seeks to get the head of their next target Torin Quezzon. Arriving on the island, the Head has his captives tossed in a prison cell before he goes after his next target. Meanwhile, Bucky and the others meet with the Philippian rebels and learn that Quezzon has been taken prisoner by the Japanese and that they are planning a jail break that night. Bucky, Toro and Knuckles agree to help out hoping that they can save their captured friends in the process as well. They storm the prison, breaking through the structure thanks to Toro's flame powers but are too late to prevent Quezzon from being decapitated. While the Head and his men escape, Bucky and the others free Jeff, Tubby and Whitewash and chase after him by plane. However, they are soon swarmed by Japanese Zeros and forced to land and surrender to the Head and his minions. The Young Allies are subdued and before being executed the Head explains that he intends to revive the severed heads in much the same fashion his own head is kept alive. With these heads attached to crude bodies, he hopes to force the men to divulge military secrets. He shows them this ability by using a crude mechanical body to bring the head of Quezzon back to life. Putting Bucky's head on the chopping block, the Head's minions are about to behead him when Toro breaks free using his flame. Freeing the other Young Allies, Bucky then battles the Head, kicking his hover device into a nearby wall shattering it and killing him in the process. Destroying the other severed heads to prevent the Japanese from utilizing their knowledge, the Young Allies flee back to the United States where they are commended once more for protecting their country from its enemies.
