Alison Bechdel's Fun Home, the nearly nine-year-old source material for a now-Broadway musical that won five Tony Awards (see "'Fun Home,' Based on the Graphic Novel, Wins Five Tony Awards"), surged to #2 in the Top 20 Adult Graphic Novels chart of bookstore bestsellers in June, based on info provided exclusively to ICv2.com by Nielsen BookScan.  The musical, which had a short run Off-Broadway beginning in late 2013 and January 2014, opened on Broadway earlier this year, and the interest spurred by the musical and the awards are apparently boosting sales on the graphic novel.

The only title that Fun Home was unable to top was the mighty Naruto; Volume 70 held the top spot in June.

But as was the case last month (see "May 2015 BookScan--Top 20 Adult Graphic Novels"), superheroes took the most Top 20 slots; there were 10 superhero titles in the Top 20 for June, followed by six author titles and four manga volumes.
