Part of the continuing "Age of Apocalypse" storyline, Amazing X-Men was the title that replaced X-Men Vol. 2 for the four-month event. Amazing Spider-Man's sales also spiked with iths 400th issue.

Capital City Distribution had preorders of 35,550 copies of Web of Spider-Man #123, and the title's Statement of Ownership reported average monthly sales of 172,992 copies for the year. Diamond's sales on that issue were likely in the 65,000-copy range, meaning one point on this chart equals 1,100-1,200 comic books sold by Diamond.

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.
