Thwipster, an online deal-a-day geek site, is offering the first volume of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon‘s seminal anti-hero series Preacher for an astonishingly discounted price of $20.99 with a $3 shipping and handling rate. The standard retail price of the book is $39.99, so you’re saving 47 percent. If you’ve been waiting to find a great deal to get you started on this series, there is no better time than now. Check out the video at the bottom of this article to see some specifics about the book.

Thwipster is a great site, and I’ve already ordered two books from them in the past week. They are easily the cheapest place to find comics right now. For example, at the beginning of the week they were selling the first volume of Morning Glories by Nick Spencer and Joe Eisma for only $5.99, while last week they were selling Batman: Year 100 for $12.99. Thwipster offers a daily deal that goes up from midnight EST, which lasts 24 hours, considering it doesn’t sell out, of course.

They also offer a weekly deal that goes up at midnight EST on Tuesdays and lasts until the following Tuesday. But those sell out rather quickly. Last week, they offered Absolute Batman: The Long Halloween, which retails for $75, for a shocking price of $34.99. This week, they were offering Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Box Set, which collects all six volumes of the hugely popular Scott Pilgrim series for only $34.99, which was a 51 percent decrease from the $72 retail price.

Thwipster offers more than graphic novels, however. Today, they are also selling World of Warcraft: Orc Warrior Action Figure for only $19.99, which is 50 percent off the standard $39.99 retail price.
