Marvel announced today that they will be reprinting popular comic books - both old and new - and selling them for one dollar (about 61p).

First of the bat is a reprinting of Invincible Iron Man #1, due in March 2010 which will be availible free at all good comic book outlets.

Following that there will be a weekly schedule that looks like this.

March 3: Invincible Iron Man # 1
March 10: Captain America #1
March 17: Wonderful Wizard of Oz #1
March 24: Thor #1
March 31: Punisher Max #1

David Gabriel, Marvel Senior Vice-President of Sales & Circulation said: "We're proud of the books Marvel publishes and now not only are we giving retailers a great way to promote our top collections, but also giving consumers a chance to sample some of our top comics, maybe for the first time and at an unbeatable price."

Head on over to Marvel.com to see the entire press line.

But what's your thoughts? It's all good and well re-publishing these books, but there is literally thousands of Marvel comics which deserve to be re-published.

Some I'd like to see would be Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely's run on X-Men, or how about some gems like Spiderman: India?
