caddymanI have placed an order with Amazon on the basis that they may have got their prices wrong. Certainly, even if it is correctly priced, it has come down to a reasonable level.
Essentially Marvel comics have been publishing omnibus volumes of some of their titles: Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, X-Men, Hulk etc, with each volume containing three-year runs of the comic including covers and letter pages. It's nostalgia in a bucket for some of us.
Big as these volumes are, the price is generally a prohibitive £65, so Fantastic Four Omnibus vol 1 (issues #1-36 and annual #1, from 1961-1964) has been sitting on my Amazon wish list for months largely as a reminder of the huge price. Now, however, they are offering it for £22.99, which is less than the shop price for the much smaller Marvel Masterworks reprints.
Never let it be said that I won't take a 65% discount on something I want, so I have ordered it before they change their minds. The only problem is that they do not specify a delivery date, so they may just wait until I give up in disgust. In the meantime, however, here's hoping.

Date: 2008-08-24 06:47 pm (UTC)Only yesterday I was required to buy over 100 tracks of Northern Soul CLASSICS for £20 on sale. To be without them would have lessened my life. It is a small price to pay.
At some point I'll need to grab up what you've just bought from you. The FF were a big part of forming my love of comics, along with Halo Jones and Johnny Alpha. I'd like to sink back into the swash of nostalgia again.
