After a lot of therapy sessions, I’d come to terms with the $3.99 cover price on Marvel’s comics.
Then yesterday, while waiting in my therapist’s waiting room, I picked up some magazine by Rachael Ray. It was 242 pages of colored photographs, articles, and recipes.
It’s cover price? $3.99.
How can I keep affording therapy to recover from high comic book prices if I have to pay that much to read my comic books?
