I'm a cheapo, but I remember spending $10+ on a single classic issue of Superman. I normally spend $20+, but only on full/half volumes.

$50 for the reissue of the Uncanny X-Men Omnibus.

And that was half off the cover price.

$100 for the Complete Calvin and Hobbes, hardback edition a few years ago. The most I've paid for a graphic novel at this point is $18. I refuse to spend more than $20, and refuse to pay high prices for something just because its out of print. I don't like being taken advantage of and will just buy the book digitally for a fairer price instead.

I could even tell you. A lot. I do remember spending over $100, but I've done that few times -- mostly for Marvel MasterWorks.

I've never read a trade before, but it'll surprise you how much stuff you can find at your local library.

For graphic novels I try not to go over $20. But I'm thinking of buying the complete Uncanny X-Force by Rick Remender when it comes out. It's $70 but I think it will be worth it since it has every issue in it.

As for a single comic, I paid $14 on Swamp Thing issue 10 from 1972 a few weeks ago. It's also my most prized possession as far as comics go.

$20. I'd feel like it's just a waste of money if I spent more.

I have all 5 volumes of Absolute Sandman plus Death (6 books total).

That's all I'm going to say.

Just broke my record by quite a large margin for a single comic. $170.50 + shipping. Still amazingly satisfied.

$45 on the Power Girl vol. 4 trade (it's gotten rare).

Next time my local comic book shop does a 50% sale, I'm planning to get the Teen Titans by Geoff Johns Omnibus for $75 instead of the $150 list price.

35 bucks. I love comics but i dont seem myself spending much more, especially considering the fact that every comic book storyline comes in volumes nowadays. I mean i love old comics but i really dont mind buying the reprints, which is why i love those giant collection books of old comics, Like Marvels essentials and DC Showcases.
