At the industry's modern height, circa '93, industry sales were approx. $6 billion. After the crash, circa '95, comic industry yearly sales plummeted to $100 million. As reported by CBG.
Last weekend, at the con in Chicago, ICv2 publisher Milton Griepp delivered the company's White Paper on the current state of the comic publishing industry.
Sales of comics & graphic novels in North America:
2009 total market was $680 million.
2008 total market was $715 million.
...a drop of about 6% year over year, but still a lot better than '95.
Good arbiter showing how much the comic industry has improved, sales-wise, since the bust -- and also how much there is left to regain in order to get back to multiple chromium cover goodness.
