Print runs
Does anyone know a website that tell the print runs of other non-Valiant comics? A friend and I were talking about WildC.A.T.S #1 and were wondering what the print run was.

Re: Print runs
So crazy to see that a title like Ghost Rider vol.1 was cancelled with an average print run of 117,000!!! Then again, at $0.75 an issue they were generating their margin of approximately $80,000 a month for that... and yet now Valiant is making their cut of approx. $180,000 in sales with a $4 cover price for selling only 45,000-ish copies of X-O #1...
I like to draw stuff... http://grendeljd.deviantart.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
My wife likes to draw stuff too, and she is better than me! [I'm very proud of her]... https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sara-Dec ... ref=stream" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Re: Print runs
If you consider the cover prices and pretend it reflects inflation, then that $180,000 would have been $33,752 back then.grendeljd wrote:So crazy to see that a title like Ghost Rider vol.1 was cancelled with an average print run of 117,000!!!

I don't think that actually means anything (I'm fairly sure Stat-man, Greg, will call me out
), but I just wanted to come up with some way of showing that the value of money is much lower than it was then. Or something...

Re: Print runs
Can someone tell us the print runs of the various Valiant titles to date?

Re: Print runs
Check the link I posted above or there is a thread that is tracking that, as well as the library on the main page. Greg keeps it updated.Ross2 wrote:Can someone tell us the print runs of the various Valiant titles to date?

Re: Print runs
Print runs are taken from the comichron.com (or similar website) data if it's not announced earlier. Normally, those are updated monthly around the 10th, give or take a few days.Ross2 wrote:That's great, when does Bloodshot get updated?
