DRE = Dreamwave Productions
ANT = Antarctic Press
ARC = Archie Comics
ASP = Aspen Entertainment
AVA = Avatar Press
BEC = Beckett Comics
IDW = IDW Publishing
KZR = Kenzer & Company
MIR = Mirage Studios
MNS = Moonstone
ONI = Oni Press Inc.
RAD = Radio Comix
SLG = Slave Labor Graphics
These estimates are based on ICv2 estimates of comic sales by Diamond North America during November, 2004. They do not include sales made by Diamond UK, orders on these titles placed after the end of November, or copies purchased by Diamond but held in inventory at the end of November.
Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Image, Devil's Due, Dreamwave and Aspen distribute 100% of their comic store orders through Diamond. Some other publishers distribute directly to stores or through other distributors and as a result this analysis may underestimate their sales.
Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, and Image distribute some of their titles through channels other than comic specialty stores, e.g., newsstands and bookstores. These quantity estimates do not reflect distribution through those channels.
Most of the titles on this chart are also distributed to Europe by Diamond UK, which can account for significant sales for the publisher, ranging from 3-20% of the US numbers. Sales by Diamond UK are not included in the numbers above.
One other factor to consider is that sales through Diamond and other comic distributors are non-returnable to retailers. That means that there is a considerable unknown percentage of books unsold at the retailer level, probably amounting to 5-20% of sales.
