*old man voice* Back in MY day, Superman comics had "still only 75 cents" printed proudly in the corner. The triangle is back for a limited engagement. |

I liked Simone's All-New Atom. Ryan Choi became my second favorite Atom after Ray Palmer and Head was worth the price of admission by himself. AND THEN HE LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!!!  |

I look back with warmth on those triangle series from the 90's.

When I was a kid, I used to be able to take my $2 pocket money to the local newsagents and come home with ten brand new comics! There's no way a kid could do that now; too many damn security cameras. |

Two bucks for ten books? It's a rare thing nowadays that I get to feel young, but I started reading comics when they were 25 cents. Ha!!! Take that, you bunch of old timers!!!

Most of the comics that I do physically buy are ones that I usually dig through the quarter bins for and yes, I was raised to be a cheapskate by parents and grandparents who's sense of frugality bordered nearly on Judaism

Yes young padawans, there was once a time when 5 bucks could get you a copy of half (if not nearly all) of Marvel's published titles. |

I was buying comics on my own at 12 cents, just missed by a few months the 10 cent cover price. That meant you could get the complete monthly Marvel superhero offerings (I believe about 8 titles in 1965) for less than a dollar A back issue of Fantastic Four #1 in the late 60s went for $5-$20 |

When I started reading comics, they were 35 cents(I barely remember DC having that price, before they 'Exploded' to 50 cents, and then 'Imploded' to 40, between spring and fall 1978). I remember my sister looking at a 40-cent tag on a comic, and saying 'I remember when they were FIFTEEN cents!'
