Comics grow darker and more socially aware. Wolverine, Punisher, Swamp Thing debut. Creator-driven storytelling emerges.

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.
BEM, having taken over Paulo's body, is in San Sassafras where he decides to take part in the town's festivities, getting very drunk. Leonore mourns what she thinks is the death of Babe. Castle Radium continues his relentless quest to track down BEM as he goes all over the world, almost reaching his goal.
