This chart of the ICv2 "Kids/Tweens Graphic Novel Franchises" reflects sales in all trade channels for Fall 2017.

The Dog Man graphic novels by Captain Underpants creator Dav Pilkey ruled atop the Top 20 Kids Graphic Novels chart.

The Dog Man volumes atop the Top 20 Kids Graphic Novels chart sold around twice as many copies as the next best-selling title.

Here's a review of The Altered History of Willow Sparks TP, published by Oni Press.

The first graphic novel tied to the Tui T. Sutherland middle-grade novel series Wings of Fire was released in January, and it topped everything except the all-powerful Dog Man, from Dav Pilkey, which took the top three slots.

Two creators had an incredible impact on the kids graphic novel chart for 2017, with Dav Pilkey and Raina Telgemeier taking the top eight slots.

Compare to the book channel sales of the Top 20 Adult Graphic Novels, which are much smaller, at least in pieces.
