September 2021 marked the final month that Diamond Comic Distributors was the sales agent for Marvel Comics, with the publisher moving to Penguin Random House in October; it was also 25 years since the first report produced in the Comichron data set, in September 1996. And continuing the sales pattern seen all summer, orders were dramatically higher versus comparable sales two years earlier, before the Coronavirus pandemic.

Find this issue at TFAWWith our projections for DC initial orders added, we were able to account for 8.78 million comic books ordered by retailers, worth $39.9 million. That figure is short of the true number of comics sold by the amount of DC's reorders (which we did not examine) and Diamond's comics beyond 400th place, but it is still significantly higher than September 2019's sums for all comics sold: 7.57 million copies for at least $33.3 million. That would amount to 16% and 20% increases for comics unit and dollar sales respectively. The average weighted comics price then was $4.41; September 2021's average was $4.54.

Adding significantly to the total for the month, graphic novels set a new record at Diamond, with the Top 400 graphic novels valued at $11.31 million at full retail. It does not appear to have been a big month for deep-discounting, either: the Stray Dogs collection from Image and the Spider-Man by McFarlane Omnibus were huge sellers, both topping 10,000 copies.

That brings the month to $51.21 million — but leaves out DC's comics reorders  Diamond graphic novels below 400th place, and all DC graphic novels. For most of the previous decade, Diamond sold two dollars worth of comics for every dollar worth of graphic novels, so the combined tally is very likely above $60 million for the month. That compares to $47 million in September 2019, so it's an increase of more than 25%.

The top dollar item among comic books — and among comics-related items overall — was Amazing Spider-Man #74, which was priced at $9.99.

With four months of detailed data from Diamond, Comichron projects that sales to the Direct Market topped $230 million from June to September, with DC's sales included.




That's more than any previous summer in our 2003-2021 dataset in nominal dollars, and just behind 2016's DC Rebirth year in inflation-adjusted dollars. But note that inflation is not the only reason that comics dollar sales increase in such a comparison, as hardcovers became more popular over the year in the study, for example.


DC had four New Comic Book Days in September 2021, while Diamond had five. (While not all retailers put DC comics on the shelves on Tuesdays, it is their official release date.) Perhaps as a consequence of the disjointed calendar, Marvel had eight more new comic-book releases than DC. September 2019 had four weeks for all publishers; the difference between the two Septembers' sales was more than double what we would normally expect from the extra week.

While Diamond returned to reporting for June 2021, Lunar did not release any sales data. As we started doing in 2020, Comichron has drawn upon a retailer initial order sample to approximate unit and dollar sales rankings for DC relative to titles released at Diamond. The dataset represented a sizable number of copies, from which Comichron was able to determine relative sales volumes.

Where the Diamond numbers are projected with precision, the numbers which appear for DC sit at the middle of ranges
, as a margin of uncertainty surrounds each DC estimate; the numbers are rounded to the nearest thousand. They appear for purposes of getting a general idea of what DC has in circulation. Further, remember that DC's information comes from a dataset of initial orders, so reorders and second printings would not be detected. We also look only at DC's North American copies, to keep consistent with Diamond's practice.

Diamond's rankings and estimates are based on our analysis of charts relased by the company, but we have made two changes to them for the purposes of this chart in order to harmonize them with our DC material. First, the "returnability penalty" which Diamond applies has been removed. Diamond cuts 10% from the sales of all returnable titles; we have restored those copies. They are in circulation, but note that some of those copies may not ultimately remain there. We have left the asterisks by comics which are returnable in the chart below.

Second, while Diamond's practice is to separate variants of comic books that have different cover prices into individual entries, we have merged all variants into single entries. The cover price which appears is for the lowest-priced version (which is usually the most common one) but dollar rankings are computed based on the correct prices of both versions. The dollar rankings differ from those published by Diamond, however, because Diamond uses invoiced dollars — what retailers paid in. The rankings below are based on full retail prices.

Things to remember: As always, DC projections are from an initial order dataset and thus handicapped amid Diamond's entries, which include reorders and any reprints that hit in during the calendar month. (Should DC or Lunar provide full-line data comparable to Diamond's — which they are both welcome and strongly encouraged to! — it will be incorporated.)

Rankings in these charts should also be expected to differ — often significantly — from the sales-to-consumers charts available at other outlets. Those report sell-through and not sell-in. Comichron tracks copies in circulation, a category which includes both copies on retail shelves and in consumers' hands.

This month's report marks 25 years since I began calculating the estimates with the September 1996 shipping month. This includes several months of Comichron-generated reports in months in which Diamond did not release information during the Coronavirus pandemic.

September 2021 Graphic Novel Sales to Comics Shops


September 2021 saw Diamond's Top 300 graphic novel sales at an all-time record of $10.89 million. Unlike August, the figure does not appear to have been very heavily impacted by deep-discounting of Marvel material as Diamond's exclusive sales relationship with Marvel reached its end. Marvel set a new unit sales record for omnibuses with its Spider-Man by McFarlane edition.

Comichron did not examine graphic novel orders for DC, but you can see Diamond's chart below. A record of DC's releases for the month follows it.

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