The first volume of the Nancy Drew graphic novel is on its third printing, and has sold 25,000 copies to date, according to Papercutz' Terry Nantier at the recent New York Comic-Con. One reason for the success of the series is that its titles for young readers, the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series, are being racked with the prose series based on the same properties.
Nantier also expressed a high degree of satisfaction with Holtzbrinck's distribution of Papercutz to bookstores, which began last year (see 'Holtzbrinck to Distribute Papercutz').
