In the latest Superman Homepage Member Poll we asked you the following question:
Are comic books too expensive?
While 39% of people think comic books are a little too expensive, 38% think they’re very expensive… So the consensus is that, whether by a little or a lot, comic books are priced well above what a lot of people are willing to pay for them. It’s an interesting topic, because a lot of work goes in to creating comic books. A lot of hours, especially for the artists. So, what is a good price?
