When I started buying comics on my own, they were $1.25 a piece.
Ahhh, youngin's
I think that is close to when I stopped.
Just saying that it's still very cheap entertainment.
I guess it all depends on your thought process.
"Lower priced option" is not part of the way my brain works. I have to add the "value equation" to anything purchased. Maybe that is just a part of me getting old.
Besides, there are plenty of other, cheaper forms of entertainment.
