I came across this invoice recently. It shows the amount I paid for 120 copies of my first comic, Time We Left 1, back in April 1993. According to the Bank of England's inflation calulator, £126 in today's money is £265.
Out of curiosity, I just got a quote from an online printer for 120 copies of my first comic (with the same specifications obviously) and the price was just over £100 (including delivery). So printing my first comic today would be way cheaper in real terms than 30 years ago. The printing quality would probably be much better too.
Also worth mentioning is the original cover price for TWL 1 was £1.
