You've paid for the flight. You've paid for the hotel. You've paid for the tickets. You've paid even more for the pretzels and buttered popcorn. You're at New York Comic con, with little money left and you need to maximise your bang for your buck.

Here are three suggestions on the show floor right now.

Rebellion, are the British publishers behind 2000AD and Judge Dredd. Anything the don't sell today, they have to ship back to Oxford, England. Which is why all the trade paperbacks, even the big $40 volumes are all just $10 right now. I recommend Arthur Ransom's Button Man.

Then there's Oni Press' Letter #44, released early at the show, for a dollar. That's what he costs here, that's what it will cost in the shops – but only if you can find a copy. It's a remarkably strong debut for this alien invasion/political procedural comic, my favourite Charles Soule comic to date, and I'm just annoyed issue two isn't out right now.

And there is Katie Cook in Artists Alley, still selling tiny watercolour ink sketches for $5 each. She can't keep the price this low much longer, and her line stretches around the alley. Hell, while you line up, you can look at the other offerings on the Alley to see if you can find another bargain.

Any other bang for your buck finds out there today?
