When comics where 10 cents, there were superheroes ... AND romance comics, and horror comics, and westerns, and sci-fi, and funny-animal comics, and humor comics, and ... well, you get the point. When comics were 10 cents, the superhero market eventually imploded, and all of those other genres outsold superheroes. There are many reasons why superheroes dominate American floppies today, but the price point isn't one of them, except maybe that it's too high, not too low, as Veitch implies of the good old days.
