Doctor Who Comic Book Sales to Comics Shops 2014 Onwards

This is a compilation of estimated sales data of Doctor Who comics shipped to North American Comics Shops, based on reports from Diamond Comic Distributors

Data has been sourced from Diamond, ICV2 and Comichron and is all in the public domain

PLEASE NOTE This page is a work in progress and is only a guide to Doctor Who comic sales based on estimated sales figures

Unless indicated, all titles featured here are or were published by Titan Comics. Publishing data for IDW and Panini collections has also been included and identified

Diamond is not the sole distributor of Titan Comics. Titan’s collections, graphic novels, and bookazines are distributed to comic stores by Diamond Comics Distributors, and to bookstores by Random House Distribution in the United States and Canada, LBS in the UK and NewSouth Limited in Australia.

These figures also do not document sales data for reprints of Doctor Who comics in the UK by Titan, or foreign reprint.

However, they do represent a general indicator of Doctor Who comic sales, although this data has been harder to source in 2020 / 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 and multiple changes in the way comics are now distributed to comic shops and other outlets

I may add earlier sales data for the IDW era at a later date.
