Comics Chronicles: 2007 Was The Strongest Year in the DM Since 1995
John Jackson Miller sent me a note with
this link to the
Comics Chronicles Direct Market numbers for December, which allows them to do the fourth quarter of last year and the entire year 2007. The jist? All sales categories were up, including overall unit sales. They put Diamond's total 2007 at $429.9 million, which they say is a gain of nine percent. Overall, that makes 2007 the best year for the Direct Market since 1995, a time when the market was still receding a bit following 1993's astronomical numbers. If you're not a numbers person, the
Comics Chronicles numbers are pretty easy to parse once you get past the initial visual impression of there being so many categories. If you are a numbers person, you hit the link 15 seconds ago and aren't reading this anymore.
