I'm going to try to take this question seriously, but I find the question just a little insulting. <br>
<br>
The average comic book these days is about $3.00-$3.50. Uncle
Scrooge and Walt Disney's Comics and Stories are twice that. One
might point out that these comics are twice as large as the average
comic book, but my point is not that I think Gemstone charges too much
for what they do, but rather that they try to do too much. This
makes the comic too expensive to buy on a monthly basis. I don't
think there's any other monthly comic book out there that costs as much
(although there may be one or two).<br>
