Welcome!

Welcome to The Comics Chronicles, a resource for comic-book circulation data and other comics historical trivia. The Chronicles are a clearing-house for information gathered by John Jackson Miller and like-minded pop culture archaeologists interested in the history of comics. Bookmark Comichron.com to find out what's new about what's old!


Notice: We're back online — only sort of. We lost the last week of updates before our recent crash, so I'll need to get July 2008 back online. Thank you for your patience.

Still waiting on some materials for the estimates, but Newsarama has the Top 100 for May online. More here as I have it.

Meanwhile, I should note that my radio silence of the past month has yielded much new data; I now have surpassed 2,500 Statements of Ownership for comic books in my database, filling in a lot of blanks. There are also "new" items for the 1960s lists already posted. My suspicion is that perhaps only 500 or so comics statements remain, just from process of elimination over the years. I've been needing to load more data in for most of a year now — this, apart from time, was the one thing delaying the posting of the 1970s — I wanted to get more data collected before posting. Just a few more to go in this wave of updates, so hopefully I'll get the new and updated tables online this summer.

Re: May update

The thing that really stood out to me about the numbers on Newsarama was the fact that DC lost 5% in both columns, but Marvel also lost 3% in both columns. I was waiting for your pretty graphs, charts, and more readable numbers to try and figure out what the heck is going on there.
