I realized that even with a 25 cent markup, an issue of Plop! with a cover price of 20 cents is still very affordable. I was seriously considering buying the entire run of "ROM: Spaceknight" yesterday. Rather than being a cheesy comic book based on a crappy toy, this series turned out to be intelligent and well written, with a plot that would be echoed in 2008's "Secret Invasion". The genius behind the comic, Bill Mantlo, has a life story well worth reading.D.B.
