Recently IDW's "Popeye Classics" has raised its cover price to $5--
no increase in page count that I can find, no 'publisher's explanation,' either.
It's all reprint material that for 40+ issues has been priced at $4.
Anyone know why? Will try writing IDW, but haven't had much luck getting a response to other 'letters of comment'. It's too bad--I really enjoy the outright wackiness of the Sagendorf comics; very much unique in these days of dark drama and muted colors. But I'll be dropping this title in a few issues as my sub/pre-orders run out. Bad enough when everyone started raising prices to $4; but that's pretty much how far I go, ESPECIALLY for reprint work--!
Anyone with answers, thank you!
