February 1995 Graphic Novel Sales to Comics Shops by Diamond

Estimated Graphic Novels and Trade Paperbacks Preordered by North American Comics Shops Based on Reports from Diamond Comic Distributors

This list includes all items on Diamond's Top Graphic Novel charts. If you don't see a book, Diamond released no data for it.

The links lead to title details on Amazon (paid links). You can also find the books at your comics shop.

In addition to the usual graphic novels and high-end comic books, Diamond's chart this month included two items marked as remaindered, along with the cut-rate prices it charged retailers. Diamond did not publish order index numbers for graphic novels in this era, so units cannot be estimated.
