Good news for British comic fans who want chain-smoking English sarcastic bastards for less money comes from the website of Paul Cornell, writer of the upcoming Pete Wisdom miniseries from Marvel:

I don’t know if a deal like this, between a creator and a supplier, has ever been tried before. I’m pleased to announce that, thanks to the kind offices of the team at Forbidden Planet International, those of you who haven’t previously dipped your toe into the world of comics (I’m looking at you, Doctor Who fans and SF readers), can take a low-priced dip into the comic I’m writing.

One click on the above banner will take you to a purpose-built Pete Wisdom sales website, where you’ll be offered three options about how you might want to purchase the six issues of Wisdom, the Marvel Comics miniseries which starts in November, written by me and drawn by the incomparable Trev Hairsine.

Option A: you get sent the series in three packages, each of two issues (so your first package will be sent after issue two is out), at a total cost for the whole series of £18.90.

Option B: you get two packages of three issues (the first sent after issue three is out), all in all a cost of £16.90.

Option C: when the series is complete you’ll be sent it all in one go, for £15.90.

The prices above include everything. The comics will be delivered to your door, bagged and in a special protective card box, in mint condition. Options B and C are actually cheaper than if you bought the issues over the counter.
