Top 100 Small Press Comics and Graphic Novels: 2010
Jan 09, 2011
Archie Andrews faced his future as a loving husband to Betty Cooper and father to twins in Archie #605, the conclusion to Michael Uslan's best-selling "Archie Marries" storyline which gave readers two possible futures for the popular redheaded teenager and Archie Comics the best-selling Small Press Comic Book for all of 2010.
Other publishers in the top ten include Archaia Studios Press with Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard #1 at #6; Aspen MLT, led by Lady Mechanika #1 at #2; Bongo Comics with Comic Book Guy: The Comic Book #1 at #9; and Zenescope Entertainment, led by Charmed #1 at #5.
Slacker musician Scott Pilgrim's long struggle against the world and the universe reached its climax in Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour, the sixth and concluding volume to the best-selling graphic novel series, giving Oni Press the best-selling Small Press Graphic Novel for 2010. In addition, the Scott Pilgrim series took the top six spots on the year-end Small Press chart.
Also in the top ten Small Press Graphic Novels for the year were Archie Comics with Archie: The Married Life Volume 1: Will You Marry Me?, the collected edition of the "Archie Marries" storyline that dominated the comic sales charts, at #9; Raw Junior, led by Benny and Penny: The Big No-No at #7; and Yen Press with Twilight: The Graphic Novel Volume 1, which was also the year's best-selling manga volume, at #8 on the chart.
Diamond Comic Distributors defines Small Presses as publishers outside the top-10 bestselling publishers over the previous six months. In offering these breakdowns of the bestselling small press comics and graphic novels, a spotlight is shown on these publishers, affording them recognition for their strong sales in a crowded marketplace.

How does Diamond calculate the charts? It all starts at the comic book shop.
Data for Diamond’s sales charts — which include the monthly market shares and all top product charts — are compiled by Diamond Comic Distributors from a universe of over 3,500 accounts, comprised of comic book specialty shops and other merchant stores and buyers. The shops are primarily located in North America, with a percentage of sales also to international stores and buyers located throughout the world. The account base includes not only brick-and-mortar comic book specialty shops, but also Internet stores, chain stores, and other specialty stores.
Unit and dollars sales are calculated based upon orders invoiced and shipped to Diamond accounts during any given month, which comprises initial pre-orders, advance reorders, and reorders, minus any copies that are received back from a title marked as returnable.
About the Diamond Sales Index: The Sales Index of selected monthly Best Seller Charts is presented as a comparative tool for retailers and publishers. It presents Diamond’s monthly sales for individual titles in relation to Diamond’s total sales for the issue of DC Comics' monthly Batman comic book. (Batman is used as the control title — with a value of 100 — because sales of Batman usually remain relatively stable.) This allows for easy comparison to other titles and helps retailers gauge their orders for all other titles. This formula is only a guide, other factors may impact a titles’ ability to sell in certain locations and clientele.
