I realize the global financial crisis is a serious situation and I don't mean to make light of it in any way by addressing the issue in a relatively lighthearted forum such as this one relating to our hobby. Perhaps I'm just whistling in the dark by pointing to the big elephant in the room and hoping to hear some less than depressing things about this big scare. I'm sure all of us are beginning to rethink our finances and our budgets. Will Disney comics sales take a hit? With the ongoing global stock meltdown and so many companies folding is Gemstone?and other publishers of Disney comics around the world?on steady footing? Will you continue to buy comics as you have in the past?

Morequack I don't know about other cities but in my city there aren't many places where they sell Disney Comics I have to get them by subscription. If you're asking if Gemstone is about to go out of business I don't know but I hope not. If they do go out of business I hope another company takes over.

I will keep buying the comics as long as the financial crisis doesn't directly affect my income (other than stuff like slightly higher prices for groceries and such). If I'm working, have cash to spare, and the comics are available, then I'm there.

As an aside, I found Lars' response when coupled with his signature block to be amusing. :)

I also will keep buying Disney comics. When you have an addiction what choice to you have.

I think Gemstone will not be hurt terribly. Most of their buyers seem to be from a hardcore of serious fans. I think most of them will keep buying the comics.

I read comics to abstract from my all-time economic crisis - so why worry?

I will continue to buy comics as I have in the past. No change until I lose my job.
I spend about EUR 10 per month on comics. Plus sometimes a special one (e.g. a rare one I see at a comic book shop).
There are other ways to save money. I could use the bike to go to the comic shop and leave my car at home ;)

No...because I was already broke anyway. :P
But even so, I'll still go on buying comics whenever I have the funds for them...what with the deals I get at Amazon for the used ones, I'd at least buy them in spurts. :)

No plans to change my comic buying.
God willing, my job seems pretty secure and I hope it stays that way.
Disney comics are my escape from the cut throat business world.
It's either comics or alcoholism and I don't feel like losing my liver =)
I'm pretty blessed with a good job that allows me to have my hobbies and Disney Comics are a big part of my interests.

For a good BARKS I would save on the butter on my bread anytime. That is more than a phrase since I invested in the 1,500 ? Carl Barks Collection indeed during a time when I, once in a while at least, hardly had enough money left that I could get proper meals. Now, with the Collection being finish and through, the inal apocalypse can come. I sit here with my complete, collected BARKS, and as long as I'm not dead I'm glad and happy thus.
The running Disney comic stuff I buy is hardly so much that I would think of saving the money for it. The monthly Donald Duck magazine always; the weekly Disney magazine every few weeks, when there's interesting stuff in it; then two or three times in the year something more expensive they produce for the deluxe comic section.--It somehow has its good side that the Disney comic production has shrinked and if one concentrates on quality. If I think of those masses of various Disney comics series I "had" to buy completely and continuously when I was young ... Oh Lord ...
