Brian K Vaughan & Fiona Staples' Saga Jumps To $3.99 With 2023 Return

Saga returns in January 2023 with Saga #61. But it comes with quite a change. Since its first publication, Saga has been at the low price of $2.99 despite not having anything "low" about it, while $3.99 became the set some for a 20-24 page colour comic book in America. Or course recently that has been stretching to $4.99 as well, but Saga stayed at $2.99, even after it's recent sabbatical between the first and second halves of the book. And when it did return, it did so at a $2.99 price point.

But now the listing for January 2023 has Saga #61 at a $3.99 price point. not just the listing but on the cover as well. Looks like inflationary pressures, printing costs, paper availability and more can no longer be kept at bay. Saga #61 is $3.99 a copy and that's just the way it is. In Britain, thanks to the crashing pound, that's even higher than it might have been…

Brian says "We're back! No spoilers, but Fiona and I are extremely excited about some of the familiar faces returning in this shocking new 'season' of Saga. Times might be tough for Hazel and her family, but the best is yet to come." Times are tough all round it seems…
