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.
With the aid of a strange tablet, Darrel Dane can reduce himself to the size of a doll. His boss, Professor Roberts, is working late at his laboratory; around midnight he perfects an extremely deadly poison gas; he immediately decides to destroy his samples and notes. Too late, a spy is already in the room, knocks out the chemist, and abducts him. Martha finds the Professor gone, calls Darrel Dane, then faints. Darrel revives her and she accompanies him on his search. Based on her description of the three thugs and their car, plus questioning every gas-station attendant in a 10-mile radius, Dane assembles some ambiguous clues into the deduction that the kidnappers came to NYC from the shabby oceanside town of Deep Haven (about 100 miles from NYC), and have returned there with Prof. Roberts. They drive to Deep Haven, where they question a bunch of people including a wizened old sea captain, who tells them about strange colored lights seen on the nearby island called "Lorelei," which he believes to be haunted. Darrel gets small and swims to the island to investigate; along the way he kills a shark with a bamboo stick, then arrives at the tall, narrow, steep, stark rock of an island; at the peak of this storm-swept precipice stands a weather-beaten shack, with flickering lights in the windows. Inside, Professor Roberts is being tortured by Anton Bock, international spy. Doll Man sneaks into the locked shack and sets Roberts free, and has a great deal of fun thrashing the spies; at one point he ties their shoelaces together. Roberts shoots one of the spies; another spy is killed when Doll Man accidentally knocks over the poison gas sample, flooding the room with deadly vapors. Roberts gets safely out of the shack with the Doll Man in his pocket, and revives him; Doll Man returns to the fight and leaves Anton Bock and the other surviving thug, unconscious, for the local sheriff.

Professor Roberts has perfected a powerful gas, a gas too dangerous to sell or even use, so he decides to destroy it. Before he can do so, he is kidnapped from his lab. Later, Darrel and Martha track his movements to the waterfront, where there are strange lights of red, blue and green, as well as mysterious noises. Doll Man steps in to corner the crooks and save Professor Roberts.
Zero investigates the ghostly return of three brothers, who in their youth had made a pact: if one of them were to die, he must return in the form of an ogre, to care for the others. In adulthood, one of the brothers died, returned as an ogre, and killed a brother. Zero unearthed the body and drove a stake through its heart.
Blackburn and Jackson fake their own deaths by placing two medical school corpses in a car, setting it on fire, and pushing it over a cliff, all because someone had leaked a picture of Blackburn to the newspapers. Then, to hide their identities, both men go to a plastic surgeon, who alters their features to new, identical, appearances. Using an antique store as a front for their espionage, they catch the man who blew their covers.
In 1790, a ship sinks due to a typhoon in the South Seas, and a man, his wife, and their son survive. They drift toward a tropical isle, where they subsist on rare, life-giving herbs. Soon, the parents die, but the herbs allow the boy to somehow survive. 150 years later, a ship stops by the isle and rescues an old man, taking him to London. There, he finds out he needs the herbs to live. He recreates the plant, which gives him super-strength. To fight crime, he sets up crooks, then he tips off the police by radio messages as "Elixir -- The Voice!"
