Thanks to Shad, Tony & Kneon for responding to my question regarding the incresed price for Darkwing.  It does now make some sense that in that format and general range of page amounts, there seems to be a formula of $1 per 8 pages, but I'm certain that that changes at a certain point (e.g., the four-issue compilations at $10 rather than $12).

Kneon also has a good point that may well be a premium involved since this is wholly original art.  However, with doemstically produced, there wouldn't be additional translation (if that particular story doesn't come with a basic English-language storyline and scripting costs.

Happy Saturday, everyone,

OK, I will send this info out weekly, probably on Monday or Tuesday

The Darkwing Duck title is 32 pages, as opposed to the 24 pages that
is standard for Boom's Disney comics

I'm not sure about the price increase for Darkwing. Is it excellent quality
though.

BOOM is very active on Twitter. If you don't like the 3.99 price, you should
let them know about it there. I already have. :-)

I'd guess the reason Darkwing Duck is selling for $1 more than the other
Disney books is simply due to production costs. It's all new material,
versus translated foreign reprints. It ain't cheap to commission new art,
and is no doubt costing Boom! thousands more to print that title than the
others in the line.
