  Since there haven't been any Disney comics published
in the US for several years , this is a guess , but ,
based on current-day prices , a standard , 32 pulp
pages plus slick cover , US Disney comic , today ,
would cost , minimum , $1.99...or , perhaps , the
$1.95 that someone else theorized...since
  (1) That's the absolute lowest price that any ,
standard-format , American mass market comic book goes
for . 
  (2) That's the price that the few , remaining , 
" small child "-oriented comic books - basically ,
Archie's 32-page titles ( Archie's digest-sized titles

 , which go for more , probably make up the majority
of their sales , however . ) , and DC's couple of ,
basically , connected with their parent company's
cartoon/TV interests , " Kids' WB " titles
( LOONEY TOONS , POWDERPUFF GIRLS , etc. , and the
couple of " little kid " superhero titles - currently
, SUPERMAN ADVENTURES , and BATMAN GOTHAM ADVENTURES -
that DC does . )...Actually , all standard US big time
comics beyond that are $2.25 and up ! And , actually ,
I rather tend to think that , if there were Disney ,
standard-sized comics , in the U.S. today , they'd
probably go for $2.25 or 2.50 , possibly , not $1.99 ,
anyway ( POSSIBLY with one lower-priced , or , even a 
" loss leader " , title ! ) !
