Neil Gaiman's Interworld

Bought Interworld from from A Different Kind Of Bookstore about two weeks ago together with M is for Magic (1st ed) and the Watchmen TPB (18th ed).


A week later, I saw the same book displayed at Filbar's.


Look closely. See the price tags? Note the difference. If that isn't overpricing, I don't know what is! I'm never buying from Filbar's again. Ever.

Years ago, I bought my very first comicbooks from Filbar's in Iloilo. I got two from a stack over the "on sale" section. I had Black Orchid #1 and Sandman #47 (of the Brief Lives story arc). There was a tiny tear off the cover of Black Orchid and Sandman's was folded in places. I loved those first comic books to bits and I still have them to this very day.

I'm sorry for a bit of nostalgia there. Anyway, if you want reasonably priced books, never go to Filbar's.

Powerbooks sell cheap-ass TPBs, yes. Cheaper than Fully Booked.

I've never tried but I think I've read some while I was in college. They're expensive to collect, man, since they come out monthly, selling at 400/issue, right?
