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.
No narrative synopsis recorded in GCD for this sequence.
A pricing discrepancy between an auction listing and the prevailing cleared consensus value across organized exchanges, allowing rapid liquidity capture before market equilibrium reconverges.
Beeg Jacques works as a lumberjack in the Canadian Northwest. He is working alongside another lumberjack that suddenly makes fun of Beeg Jacques father for beheading his partner long ago. Beeg Jacques is offended and murders his fellow lumberjack stuffing his body into a hollow tree. He returns back to camp where the topic of conversation is the big hockey game that will be held the next morning between competing camps. Beeg Jacques feels confident about his hockey skills and predicts an easy win over his opponents. The hockey game commences and Beeg Jacques demonstrates his abilities to the fullest. As the game continues the goalie from the opposing team is injured and cannot continue. A mysterious player then appears volunteering to take the injured players place. He towers over everyone else and wears an intimidating skull mask. The opposing team agrees to let him play and the game continues. The mysterious player is successful in stopping Beeg Jacques anytime that he attempts to score. Jacques attempts to score again and again but is unsuccessful. The mysterious player then announces that the game will now really begin as a bolt of lighting comes down and breaks off a chunk of ice leaving Jacques and the mysterious player isolated by themselves. The masked player reveals that they will now finish a contest that began years ago. Their chunk of ice is heading downriver straight for a treacherous waterfall. The masked player then announces that they will commence a game of hockey and if Beeg Jacques can score then his life will be spared. Jacques tries in desperation to get the puck past the masked player but is unsuccessful. Jacques severs his opponents head with his hockey stick but the head jumps and begins to talk. He says he cannot be beheaded since he has no head to lose. They both plunge over the waterfall to their deaths. The beheaded skull is last seen mentioning that his vengeance is complete. It reveals that Jacques Le Duc was the son of the partner who murdered him. The mysterious player can now rest in peace.
