Comic store stats.

Posted by Spawn Feb 22 '13, 14:45

At the ComicsPRO retailer summit, Diamond Comic Distributors rolled out some statistics for the direct market.

That comics sales in 2012 increased 16% from 2011′s figures, graphic novels increased 13%, merchandise increased 9% and total sales were up, a total increase of 14%.

And that comic book direct market stores increased in number by 1%, similar to the previous year.

Some put last year�s rise in the number of comic stores down to the spread of comic stores into Hastings across the US. This year, although still a small rise, has bucked the trend over the last decade or two.

I wonder if The Walking Dead's success is encouraging people to buy more trades. -- nm - Beaker Feb 22, 14:50 1
- Trades have been up every year for the last 7-8, but I am sure it helps. -- nm - Spawn Feb 22, 14:55
