072 - PRICING IN COMICS!

November 14, 2016

This week the ACP gang take on the topic of comics pricing! The price of digital, how overpriced some collections can be, the prices of small press books at conventions and getting your moneys worth all get discussed, as well as some interesting listener polls and emails get read. It's a topic that doesn't get discussed too much, especially by silly shows that make toilet humour seem high brow, but the ACP give it a good go. There's also the usual comics banter, great comics are discussed, the 80s movie quiz Action Dan gets interesting and there's the debut of a new, emotionally charged segment called 'Ask Aunty Tony'. Its another comical show on every level, so check it out!

Great stuff to check out this week: The Naked Artist: Comic Book Legends Expanded Edition, Sparks, Blue Fox Comics, Project Autumn
