Yes, 60 bucks get's you cat poop on a ritz cracker. Which is about the quality of 90% of the indy-press out there right now. Thanks for perpetuating the machine that piles more and more useless homemade crap out there and keeps decent material out of comic shops.

So how much is it going to cost me to make my comic? The answer is, however much you're willing to spend. But, there are limits. On the low end, if you are looking for pencils and inked pages, and you're willing to use the internet to find artists that are in, quite honestly, Asian countries where the US dollar has a favorable exchange rate, you can probably pay between twenty and forty dollars a page for full pencils and inks. That's in the neighborhood for what I paid for this. And, this has decent art, but let's face it, it's not quite up to the standard for what you're going to see in the big two. If you want art that's going to take you places, something that looks like this. Something that explodes off the page. Now, you're looking at, at a minimum of sixty dollars for pencils, and possibly much, much more.
