I can't figure it out either. Anyway, we sold tons of Seaguy as well, and as for "half a percentage point", we figured out the other day that on a book solicited to the direct market our store was 12% of the total order. THAT'S a little scary. Vernon- Hah. I can’t figure it out either.

I was pretty much in agreement on your top 20 list (as compared to my own shop), and then I saw TRIALS OF SHAZAM!?? What have you got up there, some local cult that reveres in the seven deadly sins, or something? Well, it's good to know there was a reason to publish it, anyway, as hundreds of Toronto comic fans give reason for it to exist. I only wish my shop could single handedly support a book like that. I remember a time long ago when we sold an outrageous amount of Morrison's Seaguy, and I was quite happy my tiny little store was responsible for about half a percent of the comics sales overall. Keep on Truckin' Vernon Wiley The Comix Gallery Wow!

But honestly? Omega is great. It sells even better over the course of the month because a lot of the readers are "casual" readers, and don't hit the shop every week. - Chris Dave- We’ve spent a long time building up a fanbase for both Lethem and Farel Dalrymple… we also rep his original art sales at our website.
