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.
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.
While digging a new New York-New Jersey commuter tunnel, workers uncover the bones of a pterodactyl. The skeleton is 10 times larger than any other on record, failing to even fit inside the museum's lab. As as result, they put the specimen together at the Lunar Research Center of NASA. When an explosion in lab occurs due to experiments involving gasses from moon rocks, the skeleton is somehow brought back to life as a full fledged Pterodactyl which terrorizes the city. After going on a rampage and causing much destruction, the giant dinosaur sees its reflection in a huge mirror. It flies straight into it, killing itself in the process. The scientists come to the conclusion that the monster was lonely, looking for others of its kind.

A bitter scientist builds a monster to destroy his rival, failing in every attempt to animate it until the swamp accidentally gives the construct life. The creature has a conscience and refuses to murder, so its creator uses lies to turn the local people against it. In trying to kill his creation, the scientist is killed himself and another accident transfers the creature's consciousness into the scientist's human body, freeing the creature to live a noble life.
