Q: Why do people spend so much money on a collectible comic that they might be able to see scanned online for free?
A: With comics, the tangible has a gratifying aspect. If I wanted to read my 1950s Disney comics, there's no way I'd want to read them on my iPad or Kindle. I want to hold them. There's a sense of ownership. You enjoy the linear progression as a collection. To actually hold an issue in your hand, and know it's one of less than 100 surviving comics in the entire world? Well, that's pretty special.
