Graphic Novels up 25% to $204 million

The comics industry business site ICv2.com has released some of its own year-end 2004 numbers, featuring analysis that graphic novels have increased their market to $204 million a year. In a later point, the site claims that there has been growth for the format in both direct market stores and bookstores, but that the increase in bookstores is greater. Rather than just running all of their numbers here, I encourage you to read their article. The fascinating numbers will come over the next two years, as a lot of book publisher-generated material hits the stands, many in formats with little in the way of recent success, meaning a chance the period may be known, as a friend put it, as "1993 with spines."
