While losing ground against the same month in 2008, February 2009 nonetheless looked to be in range with many other winter months in the decade. Notably, Top 300 unit sales, while down 10% versus the previous February, were up 5% over February 2004 — and only about a quarter of a million copies below the same category in February 1999.
The #1 comic book from the previous month charted in the top spot again in an incredibly rare event: reprints of Amazing Spider-Man #583, the Barack Obama issue, led the market.
There are other candidates for "repeat" top-sellers. The earliest likely one seems the most certain: Star Wars. Whitman released reprints — comics just like the Obama Spider-Man printings in nature — of #1-3 in bags in at least two and possibly more different waves; we can tell this by differences within the printings. Whitman sold so many that it evidently suspended its simultaneous-printing program for all other Marvel titles for two to three months to focus on Star Wars reprints, which is why there aren't any "fat-diamond" label Marvels for whole months with early 1978 cover dates. More than 1 million reprint copies are believed to have been sold of those issues, which would be enough, even broken up, to allow for repeat top chartings in those days.
Diamond Comic Distributors moved its main warehouse in February, taking a number of titles out of play for the month, so the trade paperback drop may be deceptive.
Eaglemoss, a magazine publisher that also produces toys, moved past Wizard in dollar share. Eaglemoss's product line includes magazines that include action figures — several at $14 each made the Diamond magazine table in February. That explains its positioning, and why Wizard remained so much farther ahead than Eaglemoss in unit share.
