Silver Age Comic Investing: The Ultimate Collector's Guide
What if you could own a piece of the birth of modern pop culture? Back in 2021, a single comic book, a copy of 1962’s Amazing Fantasy #15, sold for a mind-blowing $3.6 million.

G.I. Joe Meets The Boys? Devil's Due Gets Bloody with The Disavowed #1
Alright, let's talk about the lies your action figures told you. Remember them? The elite military heroes with cool code names, laser rifles, and a sworn mission to stop a cartoonishly evil terrorist organization. What if that whole story was a carefully constructed piece of propaganda? What if the truth behind the Saturday morning cartoon narrative was something far more brutal, debauched, and dangerously real?
That’s the explosive premise of The Disavowed, the new mature-r
