Cheap comic one ordered (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

economic

'cheap' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'comic one ordered' is the wordplay.
'ordered' is an anagram indicator.
'comic'+'one'='comicone'
'comicone' with letters rearranged gives 'ECONOMIC'.

(Other definitions for economic that I've seen before include "Sparing in the use of resources" , "Using the minimum resources necessary for effectiveness" , "Justified in terms of profitability" , "Capable of operating at a profit" , "Monetary; cost-effective" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
