I’m sure it will have some premium value, because it’s on paper. But, if everybody in the world can read it on computer, why would I want the paper copy at all?

The fact that by increasing the supply of being able to read the exact same story, but on a computer screen should result, imo, of a loss of value of the comic book.

You can read Shakespeare online, or buy a cheap used paperback of Hamlet.

Even so, a paper copy of his collected plays, published in 1623, sold for nearly $10 million.

Same concept.

Although I admit, comic books are stupid. Never understood the appeal of comics for anyone older than 10.
