Comic Book Circulation Data - The Comics Chronicles
I recently came across a new website call The Comics Chronicles. This site is a great resource for comics data. More specifically, circulation data. The information is a great help to get an understanding of the overall health of the comic book industry and of specific comic book titles.
The amount of data is vast and presented in differing types of analyses. For example, Marvel Comics was the overall leader in comic book market share from July 2007 to July 2008.
I found the data for comic book sales from 1960 fun to look at. Check out this chart…
| Title | Publisher | Avg. paid circ. | |
| 1) | Uncle Scrooge | Dell | 1,040,543 |
| 2) | Walt Disney’s Comics & Stories | Dell | 1,004,901 |
| 3) | Superman | DC | 810,000 |
| 4) | Superboy | DC | 635,000 |
| 5) | Mickey Mouse | Dell | 568,803 |
| 6) | Batman | DC | 502,000 |
| 7) | Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen | DC | 498,000 |
 |
World’s Finest Comics | DC | 476,000 |
| 9) | Looney Tunes | Dell | 459,344 |
| 10) | Action Comics | DC | 458,000 |
In October, 2008, the top seller of all comics was Secret Invasion by Marvel Comics. This comic outsold Hulk, Batman, Avengers, Superman, Spider-Man, X-Men and the Justice League of America.
