Booster Gold Volume 1 Comes to Comixology
Russ Burlingame informs us via ComicBook.com that the first two issues of Booster Gold Volume 1 are now available on Comixology.com. In Full Color!
When they were first released back in 1986, these issues had a cover price of 75¢. Adjusting for inflation, that's $1.63 in 2015 money. So why is Comixology charging $1.99 each when all the hard work was done and paid for 30 years ago? Hopefully the answer is because they want to back up a truckload of royalty payments to creator Dan Jurgens' mailbox.
Of course, $1.99 looks like a great price compared to some speculators, who are asking $50 or more for original printings of that first issue. Most comics readers probably don't want to have to choose between reading more about Booster Gold or eating lunch for a week.
So whether you're a Grumpy Old Man like me or a hip millennial who prefers her comics on the go, a $1.99 comic book is a steal in the year 2015. So head over to Comixology.com and get yourself a digital copy of the classic debut of history's greatest hero. Booster Gold would want you to.
(Thanks to the ever alert Morgenstern for calling this to my attention.)
