Why are the back issues of Jim Lee's HUSH so pricey?

[Mace Dolex]

...you know compared to Jim's work on All Star Batman and Superman For Tomorrow.

So just to recap a few years back I decided to purge my collection and give them to my LCS as I was transitioning from single issues to Tpb's and among them were all the aforementioned comics mentioned above and so then I've been regretting that decision and have luckily been re-buying All Star Batman and Superman For Tomorrow but the HUSH issues are ridiculously expensive.

Mind you im not the hardcore collector that will spend hundreds on a back issue the most I'll spend is $5 dollars but these issues are going for $20-30 dollars.

Maybe it a timing issue due to the Hush Movie coming out?

Or maybe because its just popular and iconic and people are willing to pay it?

Wait'll the movie is done with its cycle. "Hush" is so not worth it.

Really??? I have seen too many bins with that run for cheap.

I've seen 'em in the cheapie bins, too. They're not worth the premium price.

If you just want to have it to read whenever you want then why not go digital? The Complete Hush goes on sale at Comixology and through the DC comic app on a regular basis for $5.99. On a tablet the art is just as good as reading a floppy comic, plus you can archive it whenever you think you're quitting comics or realize that it's a really pretty albeit dumb story and free up space for other stuff.

I'm pretty sure you can get most of them quite cheap on eBay as well.

Jim Lee is so over-rated.

Why do you need the issues? The trade is probably available and affordable on like Amazon or eBay or something.

Wow... I know art is subjective and not everyone has the same tastes, but I find Jim's artwork some of the best ever! Definitely one of my all-time favorite artists. I can't think of a single piece of work he's done that I would consider bad.

It all looks the same after awhile.
