Comic Dollars Up 15%
Date: 3/24/2005
February 05 vs. February 04
Dollar sales of comics and graphic novels in February were up 15% over the dollars in February of 2004, the best month since we started tracking actual year over year numbers last March. Comics were up 10%, and graphic novels a whopping 49% over the same period last year. ? Sales in both categories were up across the board, with bigger numbers at both the tops and the bottoms of the lists.



The 15% growth in February provides a strong counterpoint to the sales slump that started in fourth quarter of last year and continued in January.
