I'm trying to find reall cheap comics like 5 cents a piece or something crazy like that

I used to get cheap Comics (Though not in the best condition) for about 25 Cents, sometimes cheaper, from used bookstores.

With comics becoming popular movies, finding a comic cheap will be a challenge, but going to used book store you may find some books for .50 cent -$2.  Good Luck

The Half Price Books in my area has a Comics section where they sell individual comics, but in the Clearance section, they will often have a pack of comics. Other than the comic on top, you don't know what you are getting, but for a few dollars, you can get a pack of twenty comics or so. other than that, you may have to scour the flea markets and garage sales, where people don't really know the value of what they have and just want to get rid of them. Back when I was a kid, I built the core of my collection from purchases I made at the local flea market and fondly remember the experience.

You can download comics for free from...

The Digital Comics Museum...  http://digitalcomicmuseum.com/

Comic Book Plus...  http://comicbookplus.com/

I think archive.org has some also. Although, all these are public domain comics, characters from which you will find at Character Obscura. Strangely, though, Charlton's Action Hero line (Question, Captain Action, Thunderbolt, Blue Beetle) were not properly copyrighted.

Otherwise, most comic book stores have their quarter bin, and one of the local stores has "dollar packs", which are a grab bag that are sometimes random or sometimes sequential.

It's the same with Fawcett and Quality, for while DC still owns all of the appearances of the characters after they acquired them, all of their appearances prior to that are still in the public domain. In other words, that means you can read some classic DC for free if you want to.
