Thomson should have the cost of the comic as low as possible to begin with. I'd drop the page count, reduce the colour and use a cheaper paper.<br /><br />Selling by subscription would work against itself in the long run if it ever became the main way Thomson's sold their products.

Assuming said supermarket actually displays it properly so it might sell, of course.Andy Boalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14181293853802413958noreply@blogger.com
