The stores have no returns? How strange. Is there some reason for 
that  kind of practise? (Well, I guess there has to be some reason, but 
does anyone know what it is?) I would have thought that allowing the stores 
to return extra copies would be necessary to get new readers interested in 
not-so-popular comics.
