I’m trying to purchase comic books that I’m missing but I can’t seem to find them anywhere I go(local comic book stores). So I was wondering if anyone knew a really good website to buy comics from and at cheaper prices. At the local comic book stores the comics are $4 a piece.Thank you for your responses.

I am concerned that what my son reads in comics are too violent. If TV shows gets rated on how mature a reader needs to be then it probably needs to be the same for comic books too. Is there a site i can go to that would have this information?
I know Marvel has a rating system in place for their comics, and I believe many other comics do as well. If your son is purchasing comics in a comic shop, you should take a stroll in there as well (or a phone call) and ask about the titles your son reads. Most comic shops are run by the owners themselves and are very knowledgeable and willing to help. Or you could try google searching the titles for yourself and see what kind of hits are generated from that and judge accordingly.
Keep in mind also there are few comics a young boy could pick up that would have as much violence, nudity, or inappropriate language as a rated R movie.

Tayla purchased a large box of comic books for $300. She gave 15 of the comic books to her brother and then sold the rest on an internet website for $330, making a profit of $1.50 on each one. How many comic books were in the box? What was the original price of each comic book?
Let x denote the number of comic books in the box. Her cost per magazine was 300/x. If she gave 15 to her brother, then she sold (x-15) magazines on the internet site. The price she got per magazine was 330/(x-15). This was $1.50 more than her cost per magazine. So
330/(x-15) - 300/x = 1.5
Multiply both sides by x(x-15):
330x - 300(x-15)) = 1.5x(x-15)
330x - 300x + 4500 = 1.5x² - 22.5x
30x + 4500 = 1.5x² - 22.5x
Divide both sides by 1.5 (I like integers)
20x + 3000 = x² - 15x
0 = x² - 35x - 3000
Using the quadratic formula,
x = [35 ± √(1225 + 12000)]/2
x = 75 or x = -40
We must reject the negative solution of course.
The original price of the comic books, per book, was $300/75 = $4
