November 1998 Comic Book Sales to Comics Shops

Amazing Spider-Man relaunched with a new #1 after 35 years, but the market's woes still continued.
This was a crazy month for Diamond's chart, as no less than sixteen non-comics items made the Top 300. The oversized Superman: Peace on Earth was not classed as a graphic novel, as other oversized books had and would be. The Mage collected editions, counted as graphic novels a month before, moved to the comics side. Billy Tucci's Battlebooks, which were comics-sized games, released, but were not classed with games, but rather with comics — and under the name of their Marvel licensor. Same for a group of four Marvel children's books. While their original locations have been retained below, only comics have been counted toward the aggregated comics and market share figures at left.
Diamond did release dollar rankings for the Top 250 comics; these will be added at a later date.

This list includes all items on Diamond's Top 300 charts, plus any post-#300 items from its Top Independent Publisher charts.
If you don't see a book, Diamond released no data for it.
Items marked (resolicited) were offered in an earlier month but never shipped; disregard any previously reported figure, as earlier orders were canceled when the books were resolicited.
