Amazon UK GlitchWatch For Next Week's Dr Fate Massive Collection

An Amazon UK GlitchWatch has been identified for next week's Doctor Fate massive collection by J. M. Dematteis, Keith Giffen and Sean McManus



Article Summary

  • Amazon UK lists the new Doctor Fate massive collection at a stunning 64% off retail price.
  • This 775-page trade paperback collects classic 1980s Doctor Fate stories by Dematteis, Giffen, and McManus.
  • Amazon.co.uk offers the collection for just £19, significantly undercutting comic shop wholesale prices.
  • US buyers can import at the glitch price, though UK editions ship a week later than their US release.

Next week, DC Comics is publishing the Doctor Fate trade paperback by J. M. Dematteis, Keith Giffen and Sean McManus that collects Doctor Fate #1-4 from 1987, Doctor Fate Volume 2 #1-24, and Doctor Fate Annual #1. 775 pages, that's a sizeable tome. On Amazon.com, there is a small discount of 7%, as you might expect, bringing the price down from $60 to $56. But over on Amazon.co.uk, it is 64% off, bringing the price down from £55 to £19. Which is cheaper than comic book shops can buy it in for. It is also far cheaper when shipping to the USA (still), though it will be coming out a week later than the US date of the 23rd of May.

I don't know how long this price will remain valid, or if it will get cleared out by retailers or collectors first. Or even if anything else is impacted by the glitch. But if you were wanting to read an excellent eighties take on Doctor Fate, well, I can't think of a better reason right now, especially as Doctor Fate is about to be a thing over in the Absolute Universe.
