Welcome to ACES WEEKLY Volume 25, Week Two!

The few people who leave this club of elite readers on occasion cite only one reason in common - belt-tightening. Tiny though our cost is to readers, to my despair, some still see it as burdensome. I sympathise of course with anyone having such a hard time that they can't spare us less than the price of a cup of coffee every week for the great mix of art and entertainment we deliver every Monday, but we cannot possibly do it for less, and we never will.  Print comics have a history of relentless rises in prices - the days of ' all in color for a dime! ' are long gone, and as print, paper, distribution, warehousing, gas, and retailing prices rise, so print comics prices go up to match them. ONLY in cyberspace publishing can we deliver at a low cost to you because we don't have to bear those expenses. And relief from those costs also allows us to reward our creators more for their great work, so that most of that money you might have spent on that cup of coffee goes to them, not to pay printers and all those other resources we have no need of to get to you!  At Aces Weekly we always do our best for you, and we will always do our best for you, but we will never lower our price.  However, I can guarantee we won't raise it! So, please, stay with us. Have one less cup of coffee for us.  And we'll keep on entertaining you, always : )
