Compact Comics! One of the biggest complaints I have about the current direct comic book marketplace comes down to price. Comic books used to be a working-class pastime because they were cheap, immediate… and wonderful. Then, as prices rose well above inflation, they became a middle-class pastime.
In Britain, we went from Beano, Dandy, Bunty and 2000AD to… Phoenix, a very expensive Beano and… 2000AD. The people who buy their kids comic books as we know them are the wealthy ones. That's where manga ate into the market, with production costs already paid for in Japan, they could be as cheap as chips, cheaper even, and offer far more bang for their buck than their American counterparts.
