January 1999 Comic Book Sales to Comics Shops
Estimated Comics Preordered by North American Comics Shops
Based on Reports from Diamond Comic Distributors
A light month for new releases brought a wave of "offered again" titles onto the charts at the bottom (including a dozen back issues of Spawn); in accordances with practice at the time, those items were trimmed from the aggregate totals to retain apples-to-apples comparisons, but they have all been restored to the list below. Even with them added, it was a down month to kick off a slow year.
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.
