This will give us a better perception of how well the other publishers sell and what titles and characters actually compete with Marvel/DC sales numbers.

THE HOT COMIC CALENDAR

By comic book historian Terry Hoknes of www.HoknesComics.com – hoknes@hotmail.com
As a comic book historian I love keeping track of stats.
