As many readers know, I have been developing an archives for comic-book sales figures throughout history for many years. My latest report, covering comics for the month of January 2006 sold by Diamond Comic Distributors, can be found here. My comments also appear on Newsarama here.
My calculations for the years 2000 to date can be found on CBGXtra -- and all my research can be found in the latest CBG Standard Catalog of Comic Books, now available.
It's always nice to see one of your own works on the charts -- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #1 comfortably made the Top 100 even though it only shipped on the last Wednesday of the month (and thus had a shorter time to gather reorders relative to other works on the chart). There's been a lot of word-of-mouth from folks who can't find copies, but please, keep trying -- ask your retailer to reorder. There's a lot of traffic on the issue on eBay, so that's worth trying, too.
