Money don't get everything it's true: At Silver Bullet Comic Books, Tim Hartnett charts comics prices over the past four decades and discovers ... they've gotten more expensive:

"I'm just like the average fan, though. Every month, when new solicits come out, I look to see if the prices of the comics I've been reading have been raised. So far, we're still running the base price of $2.25 for the cheapest, although I don't know how much longer that's going to last. Marvel's already raised their standard newsstand price to $2.99.

"So are comics really worth that? I personally don't think so. Especially since you don't even get a complete story anymore. And not only do you not get a complete story, but so little happens in a comic, that I find myself dropping more and more series for that reason."
