You want to really cry? Then beware that a typical comics book in XComix format today costs about $1,99. Guess how much costs some classic like Fantastic Four 1 from the sixties or Action Comics 1 featuring Superman from the thirties?
yep, $1,99 dollars as well.
There's really no surprise here. Thieves are as much thieves today as they were in the middle ages. This is why they love digital tech so much. Consumers don't have to keep their own copies, they should just stream content from your server; consumers shouldn't be allowed to buy cheaper used copies, just download a locked-down shiny new copy for the same price as that of a modern comic, even though the original creators are long dead or the artwork and story is far too simplistic for modern standards...
While there are suckers for it, they'll keep sucking.
