How nice of them! A noble attempt at explaining the economics behind the comic book industry. Although the line that reads, "We feel confident that you understand the necessity for this slight adjustment and will remain loyal fans" struck me as a little odd. I mean, who are they to tell me how I feel? That certainly wouldn't work today. When comic book publishers raise their book prices by a dollar, I generally don't care how nice the paper quality is. Most likely, I'd drop the book if it was not essential.
Also, this comment is wonderful:
I wish Government would publish explanations like this one when they raise taxes.

Oh, the poor corporations aren't making enough money so they have to whine and gouge consumers more in an already bad economy. I'm sure the CEO''s of Warner Brothers and Marvel are hurting big time. Maybe they'll even have to give up a yacht or that summer home they've had their eyes on. I feel so sorry for them.
