Dav Pilkey, the creator of Captain Underpants, is expanding his graphic novel oeuvre, with three Dog Man volumes in the top three slots. Telgemeier’s own titles, Ghosts, Drama, Smile, and Sisters, take the next four, and her work on the Baby-Sitters Club graphic novel adaptations also accounted for another four of the Top 20.

NPD Bookscan collects weekly point-of-sale data on print books from over 16,000 locations including e-tailers, chains, mass merchandisers, independent bookstores, and more. NPD Bookscan covers approximately 85% of the U.S. trade print book market. The ranks on this chart are based on piece sales. Some publishers classify titles that are primarily text as graphic novels; we’ve removed those titles from the ranking above.
