A list of all the things THAT HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED that they/Meghan did behind the BRf's back...as an own-goal...which created friction and made them distrust her -

1. The Vanity fair issue in 2017 (she told them it was to celebrate 100th episode of suits)

2. The love-shield statement by Harry (against Jason Knoufs advice, while Charles was on tour. Seems she wanted Harry to legitimize their relationship even after the VF article)

3. The Vogue UK issue in Sept 2019 (kept a secret for about 8 months)

4. The smart works capsule collection.

5. Promoting Misha nonoos label as part of smart works.

6. The dinky Jen Meyer jewellery merching (which BRF publicly put a stop to in late 2019, around US open)

7. The Elephant documentary. (Going to Lion King with Harry to meet Beyonce. Skipping the Deal memorial for the premier.)

8. Getting permission from queen to do an Invictus documentary but later changing that and doing mental health apple doc with Oprah. (And bashing queen and Charles in it for the 'genetic pain' inflicted upon him.

9. Treating the Aus tour as a vacation and thinking everyone was jealous of her. Taking Messica on the tour as part of emotional support group/stylist. (Gifting Messica a Range Rover as payment is not officially confirmed. Existing articles about it are a but wishy washy)

10. Wanting to release Bench with Vogue UK in 2019 to promote herself in the US market.

11. Collaborating on Finding Freedom (court records show she instructed Jason K to provide material to the authors).

12. Megxit. Planning on the US/Hollywood based career since 2018 and having a Us media team (and keeping them.a secret from her palace staff).

13. Using the Queen, Palace, titles as threat or coersion when something did not go her way (and possibly grabbing deals using those titles).

14. Cutting Harry off from his friends as early as the engagement ( 2017)

15. Secret engagement in early 2017 without the queens permission or informing her (and then waiting for her to get back from Balmoral to ask her permission).

(Remember the Botswana elephant pic with Harry? I suspect that's when they got engaged and she put that pic on her IG as a tease/"sweet nod")

16. Moving in with Harry way back in 2017 (and possibly living in with him for a good year and a half before marriage)

(I suspect that she arranged the VF interview and shoot in London as a flex and to show-off).

17. Hating Nott Cott for being too small and non-glamorous. Then planning to move out or get a fancy place (they leased a cottage in Coltswold)

18. Wearing merch jewellery (the HnM initial jewellery even though Jason K explicitly told her not to draw attention)

20. Deliberately excluding her Dad from the wedding and giving flimsy excuses to the BRF as to why meeting him in Mexico would not be practical. (We always suspected that she did that against the BRFs wishes and pissed them off with those antics alone).

21. Cutting off Harry's friends and later his family by pissing them off, acting superior to them.

22. Deliberately love-bombing male journalists or men in power so they would write favorably about her or do as she wishes. While being abrasive towards female staff or women. ( VF journalist, Pierc Morgan, Scoby, Ed Enninful, Markus, Jason K, Prince Charles, David Foster, Craig Ferguson etc etc etc)

(Treated badly - Catherine, Camilla, Queen, Sophie, all the WAGs of Harry's friends, female staff, RPO, AKelly, UN women etc etc)

23. Trying to cut William and Catherine out Harry's life by saying they are jealous of her popularity.

24. Wearing the blood diamonds in Fiji and then again for Charles bday even though PC himself asked her not to)

25. Trying to open a shady foundation with the help of her US agents to dipost the earnings she makes from her royalling.

26. Being too gung-ho about projects, throwing a million ideas and then changing her mind constantly. Being a mean boss.

27. Competing with the Queen, Camilla and Catherine for popularity by deliberately releasing pics, projects, papwalks or articles about herself on their important days.

28. Demanding a separate salary as a working royal. (And asking for all her expenses to be paid by Charles).

29. Harry's asking to be involved in the working of duchy of Cornwall and expecting to be paid for it (and getting pissed that it wasn't possible)

30. Being jealous of Williams and George's position as future Kings, and being paranoid about become irrelevant as a brand in a few years. (Hence leveraging their royal titles for fame, adoration and money)

31. Trying to sabotage Charles because he wanted to slim down the monarchy for financial reasons.

32. Securing Netflix, Spotify, quibi in 2019 before megxit. Planning megxit and the drama to justify these deals.

33. Demanding a wedding more expensive than will and Kate. Expecting a bank holiday to be declared for her wedding. Not planning anything well (and so PC and BP staff had to step in to arrange basic things)

34. Asking the wedding choir for constant re-do (12 times, and then rejecting the final selection anyway).

35. Rejecting the queen and Charles attempts to reconcile her with her side of family.

40. Stood up Charles for his documentary at the last minute.

41. Inviting celebs for her wedding even though she had never met them.

42. Receiving freebies as a royal (so far confirmed is Soho Amsterdam getaway, Jen Meyer jewellery, things she promoted on SR ig, private jets from Rich celeb friends)

43. Demanding separate staff from the Cambridges and being salty for being put under the BP umbrella (they did not like the checks and rules and hid everything from BP)

44. Rejecting palace doctors and deliberately creating controversy with bump clutching for publicity (she was angry palace asked her to remain low-key and to stop patting her belly so much lol)

45. Going behind Williams back and love-bombing Charles. Going behin Charles' back and trying to cosy in with the queen. Insulting queens staff and bad mouthing them in interviews to undermine the queen in the public's eye.

46. Using the Diana template and trying to be Diana 2.0 as a branding strategy. And resorting to self-victimisation to become popular against the best of advice from her UK advisors.

47. Rejecting South Africa as a place they could move to after the palace arranged for the couple to spend their initial years there (this to you dermine Harry and emotionally manipulate him, I believe)

48. Reading everything about themselvesand then berating staff to correct opinions on Tumblr, LSA, YouTube etc. (Doxing bloggers who were critical of her)

49. Weaponizing her fandom, Sussex squad (they acknowledged a super sugar, Scoby frequently collaborates with them, they acknowledged fundraisers etc)

50. Being work-shy. And barging in on Harry's patronages for publicity. Dragging him away in the middle of conversations. Excessive PDA.

51. Oprah interview. And using that to push the racism angle, jealousy angle and suicide angle. (As a retaliation for taking away Harry's patronages)

52. The exorbitant NYC baby shower. Getting freebies from companies as gifts. Saying Serena comped for the shower when it was a publicity stunt and merching gig.

53. Lying to queen about Lily's name. And lying to public.

54. Blackmailing BRF for jubilee using the kids as a bargaining chip. (And then walking off in a huff when rejected)

Please note: These are the things that I believe the BRF got to know about or knew about. Things that are provable with actual reciepts. Proved either in articles over the years or various books published so far. I'm not including the things she "may" have done or rumours or hear-say.

=============

THIS. SUBMISSION. IS. EVERYTHING.

Can I tell you what I consider to be the most heinous on the list? It's the merching. Her merching was completely against the BRF's financial code of conduct, never mind that fact that universally everyone would agree that a public servant who uses their office for personal profit is CORRUPT.

I am not diminishing the hurt that she caused her staff or even the Cambridges, but I simply cannot abide by people who abuse the public trust and not to mention misuse hard-earned tax payer money. Which is exactly what Meghan did. Every penny spent on her was to prop her up and only her.

My problem with Meghan has always been about her deception and her behavior and this incredible list by you is the proof.

I just read the article and I don't understand something here. So first Shia quit the movie, then Olivia begged him to stay so that movie can work out, but then Flo told her that she was uncomfortable, so Olivia fired Shia who had already quitted by then? I mean how? And Flo was uncomfortable with Shia but she didn't even met him? Was she uncomfortable because of his image? I mean Olivia knew about his image before hiring him. What's going on 🙄

Shia went on a huge redemption tour in 2019 (i'm tired of googling for y'all but read any interview or profile from the Honeyboy press tour). I think Olivia made pretty clear in the VF article how she feels about second chances. (”I want him to get well and to evolve because I think it’s a great loss to the film industry when someone that talented is unable to work.”) So if you disagree with that premise, that is absolutely your prerogative, but I expect you to hold everyone who's hired him since 2015 and ESPECIALLY since Dec 2020 to the same standard.

Since you seem to find this so difficult to follow (this is all pulled word-for-word from the article):

A source with knowledge of the situation tells V.F. that the truth is a couple shades of gray: The actor was indeed unhappy with the limited amount of rehearsal time that Pugh had available, and Pugh, in turn, was uncomfortable with his intensity. LaBeouf is said to have given Wilde an ultimatum—she had to choose between him and his costar. Wilde chose Pugh. The tricky, and quintessentially Hollywood, part is that, to spare LaBeouf’s ego, she seems to have allowed him to believe what he wanted to believe: that he was quitting.

During preproduction, Wilde tells me in London, Pugh told her that she was uncomfortable with LaBeouf’s behavior.

Wilde says she called LaBeouf herself and fired him

Shortly after LaBeouf departed, two women unrelated to Darling accused the actor of physical, mental, and emotional abuse

Among other things, [LaBeouf] released a video that Wilde sent him—apparently before Pugh registered her discomfort with the actor—in which she encourages him to stay on the film

After the premiere in Venice, as private messages between Pugh and LaBeouf are parsed giddily online, Wilde tells me this: “This issue is so much more nuanced than can be explained in private texts released out of context. All I’ll say is he was replaced, and there was no going forward with him. I wish him the best in his recovery.”

“Tsujihara, as far as I can tell, and the brass at the very top, decided the order of the films. I was not consulted on the order of the films, even though I was the person writing Justice League. They just determined that it was going to be Batman/Superman, and then Wonder Woman, then Justice League, and then Aquaman. So there was never any thought to how the world was constructed before they issued this edict. They said, “Conform to this schedule.”

The Wonder Woman script wasn’t even finished when I wrote Justice League. So I had no basis to write Wonder Woman other than Batman/Superman. Themyscira didn’t even exist. I was never shown anything on the page for it. I didn’t know whether people could talk underwater. That was a thing that I had to ask, because I didn’t know if I could do underwater scenes with Aquaman and Atlanteans. It was all just from scratch because there had been no [solo] character films.”

The way WB sabotaged themselves is just ridiculous. Seriously, their level of incompetence is astounding! They need to clean up their house fast, or they will sink DC once and for all.

Hey Hollie, do you think Lili could attend the Oscars or Vanity Fair party this weekend? I know she had to film last year, & Cami & Cole attended VF, but I’m crossing my fingers with the success of Hustlers, that she can make it this year. I’m dying to see her all dressed up at something like the VF party!

Oscars? Idk bout that but I think there’s a high chance (and a high hope) that she could attend the Vanity Fair party considering she was in their Hollywood Issue!

She's posted a couple of pics on her IG, standing with her stylist? in front of giant poster of the VF hollywood issue cover that features J Lo, Renee zellweger and Eddie Murphy, captioned all of us the party. (2nd pic Rami is caught blurry walking past them because hes a photo bomb champ lol). Trying to do her own cutesie oscars selfie thing with some real stars, idk. Anyway, I dont wanna say she deliberately stood in front of and therefore blocking the black man featured in the poster, but it clearly looks like she did and that's all I need to know about her.

Rumour tracking anon: Something happened that caused the palace and Harry to "let" Meghan stay after the VF interview when in the past, Harry notoriously cut friends and girls out if they talked to the press

Me: Meghan said she was pregnant? 👀

Howdy, rumor-tracking anon here. So the pregnancy theory is actually a really good one. There are several out there. The one with the best legs (I know, that sounds very weird) is that they made embryos pre-wedding. Harry used the embryos to force BP to allow the wedding and when he got cold feet, Meghan used the embryos to keep Harry from calling it off.

Of course, she could've just claimed she was pregnant and oh no, miscarriage! but that's not a very fun rumor to dive into a wormhole with. (Also because she would've talked about that miscarriage in the NYT op-ed for an even bigger guilt trip. But she didn't so I'm inclined to disbelieve this one.)

Join me on today's installment of "It's too hot outside."

Harry and Meghan's personal situations meant that they were prime candidates for doing IVF or hormonal treatment to help conceive: Harry's issue with his crown jewels in childhood, both of them having a history of drug and alcohol abuse, and Meghan being older than she claims (confirmed by the ANL lawsuit where there was a testimony that talked about Meghan's childhood in relation to Sam and Jr. and their age gaps, which proved a shorter age gap than what Meghan's said).

Hence the decision to make embryos in Toronto before the wedding or at least start hormonal treatment. Meghan takes hormones because she wants to freeze her eggs "just in case" (perfectly natural, all the 30something career women in Hollywood and America are doing it), it turns into "let's make embryos, H, I'm not getting any younger, and they get engaged. There are objections, they say "but mah babies in Toronto" -- maybe Harry even says the embryos were made at the palace's requirement but he decided to keep them instead of letting them be destroyed** -- they get married.

On 30 Aug 2018, Meghan got papped back in Toronto sans Harry. Her PR said it was to visit with her friends. If you believe the pre-wedding embryos-in-Toronto theory, then this was a trip for Meghan to be implanted with an embryo and she was taking hormones during the spring to do the egg retrieval, hence the ill-fitting dress^^. So if 31 Aug is the IVF conception date, then she would have been just 8 weeks pregnant at Eugenie's wedding with a projected due date of 24 May and Archie would have been a smaller lil guy when they presented him at Windsor on May 7th. It's plausible. Not entirely impossible. She would've been just over 37 weeks, which would've been close enough to full-term that Archie could've been fully baked. (And it also makes the Aussie "baby bump" pictures all the more ridiculous.)

Where the 30 Aug Toronto visit for IVF/embryos theory gets debunked is in the Harkle PR itself. Their PR is that 1) Archie was late enough that Meghan couldn't do the home birth she wanted and 2) Meghan was fully past 12 weeks at Eugenie's wedding. If Meghan was just starting her second trimester around 12 Oct, then conception would've been around her birthday with a projected due date at the end of April. We know Meghan was in England around her birthday because she was showing off her bra at the friend's wedding which doesn't line up with a quickie trip to Toronto for embryos since she would've likely had to stay for a couple of days to make sure it took.

Then for funsies -- what about Harry's comment about how much babies change in 2 weeks? That theory suggests Archie was actually born around April 20th. That's an end of July conception date, putting Meghan at 13 weeks for Eugenie's wedding, which also lines up with the Harkle PR narrative of Meghan being past her first trimester. But it doesn't jibe with the story of Archie being very late since he should've been bigger than 7lb 3oz at birth. But maybe they lied about it. We've seen them lie about a lot of stuff.

**There's a long-held rumor that royal brides are required to undergo a very thorough medical examination before the wedding to ensure the bride is in good health and is a virgin, which is a tradition that ended after Diana/before Kate. Particularly with Diana, there's a rumor the royal physicians created an embryo of Charles and Diana to prove that the couple could and would conceive of a child. An embryo was made but rather than being destroyed, the scientist implanted it in his wife, who gave birth 9 months later and they have raised the child as their own. This is the source of the 'Charles and Diana have a secret daughter' rumor from Australia, btw. I do not at all believe this but I can see how someone like Meghan might, especially if she is as obsessive of Diana as been portrayed, and Harry does seem gullible enough to believe it.

^^Diana also lost a ton of weight before her wedding because of all the stress. Very famously the Emmanuels said that they had to keep taking her dress down in size- I think they said they were still taking it down a couple of days before the wedding. So given how much Meghan idolizes Diana, she could've done the ill-fitting wedding gown on purpose to manifest a "poor Meghan, so much wedding stress just like Diana" narrative.

Till next time, y'all!

Omg I forgot all about the hostage embryos theory!

Breaking down one of the most undervalued Cannabis Plays

The Cannabis Green Rush has minted many new millionaires. The global Cannabis market is expected to reach USD $146.4 billion in the next 6 years there are a lot more profits to be made. The U.S. legal marijuana market size was estimated to be over USD $10 billion last year and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 24.9% up until 2025.

For more information, you can consider good Stock Market Analysis.

Our team has discovered a small cap hyper growth company that shows a ton of promise.

This company is one of the most undervalued Cannabis companies based on realized revenue and their stock is up over 200% in the last 3 months.

C21 Investments inc.

CSE:CXXI

Market Cap: $148 million

Revenue: $32 million

Shares Issued: 62 million

C21 Investments is a vertically integrated cannabis corporation that processes, manufactures, and distributes cannabis within the United States with operations in Oregon and Nevada. The company’s strategy is to purchase 100% interests in licensed,operating, revenue producing businesses that operate cultivation, processing, production, and retail operations.

You can consider visiting Latest Financial News sites for more information about financial news.

Flagship Assets

Silver State Relief -Nevada

C21 Investments has a 155,000 square foot cultivation and processing facility and a 8,000 square foot retail dispensary. This established and profitable business serves 36,000 customers and generated $25million in the last 12 months.

Eco Firma Farms – Oregon, USA

C21 Investments operates a 23,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility, on 20 acres south of Canby, Oregon. They are the a founding member of the Oregon Cannabis Association and are establishing significant cultivation capacity.

Pure Green – Oregon, USA

Pure Green is a 3,000 square foot retail dispensary that has been operating since January 2014 as a local retailer for both medical and recreational products. The dispensary is located in the Hollywood Neighbourhood, on Portland’s “Green Mile” and in a building that once housed Portland’s first post-prohibition liquor store.

Phantom Farms- Oregon, USA

C21 Investments has outdoor cultivation facilities totaling 80,000 square feet with a planned additional 40,000 square feet facility in development. Phantom Farms also has an extraction laboratory, distribution warehouse and a 7,700 square foot indoor facility. Phantom Farms’ wholesale license allows them to distribute product to over 175 dispensaries statewide.

Swell Companies Ltd. – Oregon, USA ( Pending )

C21 Investments has an umbrella of brands that include Dab Society Extracts, Hood Oil, and LoudLab Cannabis Refinement. Swell Companies also has a 10,000 square foot facility and a 5,000 square foot distribution warehouse.

5 Reasons we believe CXXI is poised for a breakout

1. The company is planning an expansion into California in 2019. With 39 million people and the world’s 5th largest economy this market offers significant opportunity. California is a very mature market and has very high Cannabis usage rates.

2. The company has registered its securities in the USA and the assignment of a US trading symbol is imminent. This additional listing will provide increased visibility and volume based liquidity for the company. Village Farms (CSE: VF and OTC: VFFIF) surged nearly 400% in a matter of 11 weeks this year when they received their OTC listing.

3. C21’s tight share structure is a reflection of the management team’s fiscal responsibility and commitment. Insiders own a significant share of the stock and the float is only 34 million. Low float stocks tend to rise more quickly because of the limited number of available shares. resulting in an opportunity for investors to realize superior price action to the upside

4. The company has a strong management team that includes:

Cultivation expert with 30 years of experience

Marketing team with ex brand marketing experts from Microsoft and Burton

Finance team with executives coming from Royal Bank and Morgan Stanley

5. Projected calendar year 2019 and 2020 revenues (post-acquisitions) is US$100m so C21 today is trading at only 1.5 forward sales. This makes this company significantly undervalued compared to most Cannabis firms.

Bottom Line

(Vanity Fair) -- Sometimes, all it takes is a single scene to change moviemaking for good. (“Rosebud . . .” comes to mind.) And while many of the last quarter-century’s films have awed, inspired, and offered up iconic entries into the cultural canon, only some—and particularly, only a few individual moments—have genuinely influenced how future films were made. So, what makes that list? To mark the 25th edition of the Hollywood Issue, Vanity Fair’s film critics pinpointed 25 film scenes since 1995 that changed the industry, the art form, and even the culture, and our reporters spoke to the performers and filmmakers who made them happen.

Superman, Champion of the Oppressed

ACTION COMICS #1 JUNE 1938 BY JERRY SIEGEL, JOE SHUSTER, HOMER FLEMING, FRED GUARDINEER, RUSSELL COLE, SVEN ELVEN, WILL ELY, KEN FITCH AND BERNARD BEILY

CONTEXT

So if you have been reading my reviews for the Golden Age (in fact, pre-golden age), you know that what we now know as DC was publishing three books. More Fun Comics, New Adventure Comics and Detective Comics. Technically speaking, Detective Comics was being published by the namesake company (Detective Comics Inc) and the other two by Wheeler-Nicholson. Problem was that Nicholson found out the hard way that comic-books were a bad business and ended up broke (to be honest, he didn’t pay the artists well enough, considering how much these artists could get from syndicated jobs, this could be considered a reason for those artists for not selling him the best creations). So his books ended up on Detective Comics hands. And now it was time for a fourth book, one not focused on funnies or mysteries, but on action.

It is important to clarify that Superman wasn’t the first action hero. And he was certainly not the first hero with powers or a secret identity (Zorro and Shadow could be considered inspirations for the character). But he is, definitively the first super-hero.

Now, if you read More Fun Comics, Adventure Comics and Detective Comics up to this point, you will notice that the stories are so-so and the art is not always easy to understand. The jump from comic strips to comic books was still not polished. There were incremental changes to these, like more pages per issue to each feature, and an increase in quality that was probably more than enough for the time (and cost). But when you read Action Comics #1, the Superman feature alone is mesmerizing. It’s like nothing you could have read before. There is a lot of quality to it, and it certainly doesn’t underestimate the readers. Funny enough, it wasn’t the intention of Siegel and Shuster to publish this story through National, and National Comics wasn’t sure about publishing the feature either. It was a hate-hate situation.

Action Comics was started by publisher Jack Liebowitz. The first issue had a print run of 200,000 copies, which promptly sold out, although it took some time for National to realize that the "Superman" strip was responsible for sales of the series that would soon approach 1,000,000 a month. Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster were paid $10 per page, for a total of $130 for their work on this issue. Liebowitz would later say that selecting Superman to run in Action Comics #1 was "pure accident" based on deadline pressure and that he selected a "thrilling" cover, depicting Superman lifting a car over his head. Christopher Knowles, author of Our Gods Wear Spandex: The Secret History of Comic Book Heroes, compared the cover to Hercules Clubs the Hydra by Antonio del Pollaiolo.

In January 1933, Jerry Siegel wrote a short prose story titled "The Reign of the Superman", which was illustrated by his friend Joe Shuster and self-published in a science fiction magazine. It told the story of a bald villain with telepathic powers. Trying to create a character they could sell to newspaper syndicates, Siegel re-conceived the "superman" character as a powerful hero, sent to our world from a more advanced society. He and Shuster developed the idea into a comic strip, which they pitched unsuccessfully.

National Publications was looking for a hit to accompany their success with Detective Comics, and did not have time to solicit new material. Jack Liebowitz, co-owner of National Publications, told editor Vincent Sullivan to create their fourth comic book. Because of the tight deadline, Sullivan was forced to make it out of inventory and stockpile pages. He found a number of adventurer stories, but needed a lead feature. Sullivan asked former coworker Sheldon Mayer if he could help. Mayer found the rejected Superman comic strips, and Sullivan told Siegel and Shuster that if they could paste them into 13 comic book pages, he would buy them.

Comics Buyer's Guide estimated in 2012 that only 50 to 100 original copies of Action Comics #1 exist.

Action Comics #1 has set several sales records for comic books. On February 22, 2010, a copy of Action Comics #1 CGC Grade 8.0 sold at auction for US$1 million, becoming the first million-dollar comic book. The sale, by an anonymous seller to an anonymous buyer, was through the Manhattan-based auction company ComicConnect.com. On March 29, 2010, ComicConnect.com sold another copy for US$1.5 million, making it the most expensive and most valuable comic book of all time. The copy sold is the third highest-graded copy from the CGC, which stands at 8.5 VF+ grade.

As of 2011, there were six known Comic Guaranty LLC (CGC)-graded copies with a grade above VG (CGC 4.0), with only one issue having the grade of VF/NM (CGC 9.0) at that time. EC and Mad publisher William Gaines, whose father was also a comic book publisher and had business dealings with DC Comics at the time Action Comics #1 was published, claimed in a Comics Journal interview that he at one point had dozens of copies of the issue around his house, but they were probably all thrown out. Another copy, rated CGC 5 ("Very Good/Fine"), was discovered in July 2010 by a family facing foreclosure on their home while packing their possessions. Estimated by ComicConnect.com to sell as high as $250,000, the comic fetched $436,000 at auction, saving the family's home.

One copy was stolen from American actor Nicolas Cage, an avid comic book collector, in 2000 (this is a story on itself). In March 2011, it was found in a storage locker in the San Fernando Valley and was verified by ComicConnect.com to be the copy sold to him previously. Cage had previously received an insurance payment for the item. A copy which sold for $2.16 million on November 30, 2011 through ComicConnect.com is believed to have been this same one, having been noted as stolen in 2000 and recovered in 2011. The Hollywood Reporter mentioned in its March 23, 2012 issue that a movie was in development based on the theft of Cage's copy of the comic book and would be titled Action No. 1. The screenplay was a spec script written by Reno 911! creators Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon and sold to Lionsgate. They will produce along with Peter Principato and Paul Young.

A CGC 9.0-graded comic, with white pages, was auctioned for sale on eBay in August 2014. The seller Darren Adams, a comic book store owner in Federal Way, Washington, had purchased the issue from the estate of a man who had originally bought the issue from a newsstand on its release in 1938. The original buyer lived in high altitudes in West Virginia and stored the comic in a stack with others, which provided the optimal "cool, dry and dark" conditions that lent well to a comic's age, according to Adams. The comic changed hands twice prior to the auction; first sold as part of an estate sale when the original purchaser died forty years after its publication, and then to a third person who held the comic for about thirty years. Some years prior to the auction, Adams was contacted by this third person, and seeing the pristine condition of the comic, purchased it for a "seven figure sum". He held onto the comic for a few years before deciding to sell it, keeping the existence of it otherwise a secret, even rejecting a $3 million offer to buy the comic outright. On his decision to sell, he opted to use eBay instead of other comic auction houses like Heritage House, believing the auction site would reach a wider audience and was a better fit for the pop culture nature of the piece. After discussions with the site, Adams and eBay also arranged to donate 1% of the sale to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, reflecting on Christopher Reeve's role as Superman in motion pictures. The auction ended on August 24, 2014 and sold for over $3.2 million. This was the highest value ever paid for a single issue of a comic book. The purchasers were Vincent Zurzolo and Stephen Fishler, the owners of Metropolis Collectibles; Zurzolo expected the value of the near-mint comic to continue to increase in time.

Ironically, the first thing you see when you open the comic book is this add telling you to basically shred the comic-book.

SYNOPSIS (FROM DC WIKIA)

As a distant planet is destroyed by old age, a scientist places his infant son in a space capsule and launches it toward Earth. The capsule is found by a passing motorist, who brings the baby to an orphanage, where the child astounds the attendants with his superhuman powers. The child, who is named Clark Kent, can jump over buildings, lift enormous weights, and run faster than a freight train. Furthermore, his skin is impenetrable. Realizing that he has powers far beyond normal humans, Clark dedicates himself to serve humanity as Superman, the champion of the oppressed.

Superman learns that an innocent woman named Evelyn Curry is to be executed for murder. He captures the real murderess, and delivers her, bound and gagged, to the governor's mansion. He breaks through the door to confront the governor, and convinces him to call off the execution at the last minute.

At the Daily Star, where Clark works as a reporter, he's given the assignment to cover the stories about a man with amazing strength named Superman. He hears a tip about a wife-beating, and rushes off to cover it -- then changes into Superman, and stops the man before he kills his wife.

Returning to the Daily Star, Superman asks fellow reporter Lois Lane out on a date; she accepts out of pity. A thug named Butch Mason tries to cut in while Clark and Lois are dancing. To protect his secret identity, Clark pretends to be a cowardly weakling. Convinced that Clark is a spineless worm, Lois slaps Butch and walks out. Enraged, Butch and his friends leave the club and take Lois prisoner. Superman spots them and gives chase, smashing the car with his bare hands. He picks Lois up into his arms and carries her to safety. She's astonished, and the next morning, she tells her editor about her experience with Superman -- although she's even more cold to Clark than before.

Clark is given an assignment to go to San Monte, a war-torn South American republic. First, he goes to Washington, D.C., where he spies a slick lobbyist, Alex Greer, trying to convince Senator Barrows to involve the US in a war with Europe. Superman grabs Greer, and demands to know who he's working for. Greer refuses to talk, so Superman jumps up to the top of the Capitol building, and threatens to smash Greer to the ground.

Several years ago, Charles Dawson owned the Circle-D Ranch near Red Gulch, Texas, and was killed in a range war. His son Chuck went to live on his uncle Dan's ranch in Wyoming. Chuck, now a man, decides to take up the fight against his father's killers who fraudulently took the land that was his birthright.

Chuck rides his horse, Blacky, into the town of Red Gulch and stops at the local dance hall to ask a few questions. As he approaches, the door suddenly flies open with a man calling himself Notch Logan running out and firing his pistol inside. Logan picks a fight with Chuck, swearing revenge after the newcomer bests him. After witnessing the brief fight, Red Gulch's sheriff tells Chuck to leave despite Chuck telling him of his business in town.

As Chuck eats at a local cafe, John Burwell, owner of the A-G Ranch, orders "Trigger" Holt to take Butch into town with him and kill Chuck. Holt reveals that Burwell's orders are to make the murder look like a fight as he and Butch arrive at the restaurant. As Chuck leaves, he bumps into "Trigger" who then draws his pistol. Chuck shoots the gun out of his would-be assailant's hand and subdues "Trigger" using "jiujitsu," not knowing Butch is lying in wait around the corner. Butch shoots, grazing Chuck's head, and knocking him out. The sheriff arrives and has the unconscious newcomer taken to jail.

When Chuck wakes up in his jail cell, he convinces the deputy to come over and a struggle ensues. Chuck takes the deputy's gun and orders him to unlock the cell. The deputy is then tied up and our hero finds his pistol in a table drawer. Just as he's about to leave, Chuck hears a footstep in the adjacent office.

Suspecting the Tigress to be behind a recent crime wave, Zatara and his assistant Tong contact Detective Brady upon learning of another robbery attempt. Late that night, Zatara and Tong silently board the train with Brady and Detective Brown. The train gets underway and soon enters a tunnel. After leaving the tunnel, Brown is shot and nearly falls, but is quickly saved by Tong. Determining the detective is only stunned, Zatara conjures a first aid kit for Tong to use as he continues forward. As the magician advances, he sees a dead Detective Brady being thrown out of a boxcar. The Tigress then sneaks up behind him and shoves him off of the train. Zatara uses his magic to float gently to the ground, landing in some underbrush next to the tracks.

The train continues on as Zatara walks back toward the freight yard where he finds Brady's body. After Tong warns the train's engineer, the train is stopped and the state police soon arrive to investigate. Brady is deemed guilty by State Police Captain Kennedy, but Zatara isn't convinced. Zatara then meets Train Inspector Babcock who accuses Zatara of being an accomplice to the train crimes. The master magician muses that Babcock is the key to solving the mystery. The police arrive and Zatara tells them that he'll capture the robbers and prove Brady's innocence.

With the train scheduled to depart at midnight, Zatara arranges for valuables to be distributed all over the train. Tong tells his master that he saw several "evil looking" men enter a shack. Zatara enters the shack and hypnotizes the men only for the Tigress to pistol whip him into unconsciousness, which breaks the hypnotic spell. The Tigress has a henchman douse the shack with kerosene and then leaves with the rest of her men to rob the train. Zatara wakes up and easily unties his bonds, escaping from the burning shack.

Teleporting his assistant to him, Zatara has Tong capture the crooked train inspector Babcock and take him to the police station. Flagging down an oncoming express train, Zatara convinces the engineer to catch up to the freight train. Eventually catching up, Zatara boards and dodges gunfire from the Tigress' henchman. Zatara returns fire using Babcock's pistol and hits the thug.

While a truck arrives to collect the boxes of valuables thrown off of the train, Zatara magically closes the boxcar door but is confronted by the Tigress. Quickly, the magician gestures and turns the femme fatale's pistol into a bullet. Enraged, the villainess leaps off of the train and vanishes.

Police arrive and arrest the remaining henchmen. Zatara tells Captain Kennedy how Babcock marked boxcars containing valuables for the Tigress. At the police station, Babcock confesses to the crimes.

Although the Tigress has escaped, the case is now closed. Zatara is eager to begin the search for his arch-foe but Tong wants to get some sleep before hunting anew.

In the year 1271, Marco Polo, his father, and his uncle set out from Venice to China. On the Armenian coast, an emissary asks that the group visit the pope at his home in Acre. The pope gives them instructions to travel to Tartary with priests and gifts. Again, the adventurers set out for the far reaches of Asia. The ship the men sail on is owned by a country at war with Babylon and is set upon by one of Babylon's warships. Luckily, our heroes escape to safety in an Armenian port. They ignore the warnings of Armenian nobles and continue their travels. After traveling through Turkey, they reach the port of Dora and continue on to the Karghar Pass. The porters are afraid of the savage tribes who inhabit the area and are only prodded to go on by the promise of more pay by the Polos. The party splits in two, with Marco in charge of one half and his father and uncle in the other. Marco's group hides in the hills, while the other group goes through the narrow mountain pass. The tribesmen swarm down from the hills, but Marco's men begin to roll boulders onto their foes.

Pep Morgan is fighting a boxing match against Sailor Sorenson. Sailor's manager, Doc Lowry, is a known cheat, and when it appears Sailor was losing, Doc covers his gloves in liniment. In the next round, Sailor swipes Pep in the eyes, blinding him. But Pep gets lucky on a blind swing and knocks Sailor out. After the fight, the police question Lowry, but the Doc removed the liniment already, so without any evidence, they allow him to walk free.

Months later, Pep and his manager, Pop Burkett, hear about Doc Lowry's new rising champion, Boomerang. Pep is suspicious of Doc using illegal methods to win those fights, so he and Pop buy tickets to watch Boomerang's next match. What starts out as a straightforward fight, suddenly turns odd when Boomerang's opponent begins acting groggy, as if he were drugged. One knockout later and Boomerang is the clear winner, though Pep smells a rat. The next fight will be against Pep himself, so Morgan and Pop return to the gym to get ready.

Later, before the big fight, Doc threatens Pep that he's been waiting for a chance to get back at him since he accused him of cheating. The bell rings, and Pep Morgan and Boomerang face each other in the ring. At first, everything is normal, but just a little after Boomerang lands a blow, Pep begins feeling woozy. Despite this, Pep wills himself to fight on. To Doc's surprise, Boomerang is hit with a knockout punch and goes down. Before Doc Lowry can make an escape, Pop intercepts him with two detectives blocking his way. He noticed that Doc had sewn a hypodermic needle into the gloves, which Boomerang would then use to dope his opponents. Lowry is taken away to prison.

Scoop Scanlon, ace reporter, wakes up his companion and photographer, Rusty, after receiving word of a scoop. Together, they drive over to the docks, where an international jewel-thief, by the name of Arnold, has been caught by authorities. Rusty focuses his camera, and then sees some suspicious men hanging out by the cargo crates. He points it out to Scoop, who notices the bulge in the men's coats look an awful lot like machine-guns. He circles around while the police, unsuspecting, escort Arnold to their patrol car. After a quick nod to the suspicious men, Arnold ducks to the ground as they pull out their tommy-guns. But they're taken off guard when Scoop tackles one of them from behind. The police officers spot Arnold's goons and open fire, taking down all but one, who escapes in a getaway car with his boss, Arnold. Of course, Rusty manages to hop onto the back of the car as it breaks away from the scene, clinging to the spare tire to keep himself from falling off.

Scoop and the police follow behind in their cars, until the police are blocked off by a truck being driven by more of Arnold's cronies. Scoop manages to get through, however, and continues the pursuit. Swerving to get beside Arnold's car, Scoop opens fire on the vehicle with a tommy-gun he recovered, bringing it to a halt. The police catch up and arrest Arnold and his man, while Scoop helps Rusty off the vehicles rear. Rusty takes a few good photos of Arnold being led away, while Scoop phones in the story he was just a part of.

Rusty mentions that he hopes the credit goes where it's due. After all, they never would have caught the car at all if he hadn't been poking holes in the fuel tank while he was hanging on...

Tex Thomson visits England and takes a stroll through the lush green country. He meets a young boy, Robert, who is fascinated by the cowboy life, and invites him along as a traveling companion. The two of them stumble upon a murdered man in the road. Robert goes to find the police while Tex stays behind.

Sonja, a nearby woman, encounters the scene and accuses Tex of the murder, forcing the cowboy to run from the sheriff. Secretly, he trails the girl, learning that Sonja is working with the killer and his gang. They have captured young Robert, the only witness to Tex's innocence!

Tex frees the boy and sends him for help. In the meantime, Tex finds himself captured. Robert returns in time to free Tex, but both men are still in danger from the gang, until the sheriff arrives to round them up.

REVIEW

So I kind of already reviewed the Superman story in this issue, but only because it was part of Superman #1 (my first ever review in this blog). And that was for the best, as the story as it was published in Action Comics was incomplete and made much more sense after having all the parts. I find the story very unique for the time. And even compared to today standards... it’s a pretty powerful story and characters. I mean, Lois Lane is pretty much the same character today!

Because at the time of publication, reporters were either detective characters or action characters, it makes sense for Clark Kent to be so active, and to be an actual reporter.

Speaking of action, the focus of the book is mostly right (there are still some mystery stories). The Zatara story could be considered as a mystery, but the fact that he decided to set the main part of the episode on a train, added the action required for the book.

The rest of the stories (apart from Superman and Zatara) are forgettable. But thanks to reprints and digital copies, have probably been read by more people than anyone could have ever imagined.

I found the quality in the art also much improved from Detective. The stories not so much. The Zatara story relies on magic, and it starts with a crystal ball telling him what the tigress will do. My guess is that crystal ball could have told them even more details, enough details to just put her in prison.

And what is the deal with Tong? is he a genie?

This issue is a milestone in history and it is considered the beginning of the golden age of comics. It is also the beginning of super hero comics (a.k.a. other publishers and creators, seeing how much Action Comics was selling thanks to Superman, started creating their own versions, some of them were sued by National).

I give this issue a score of 8
