The New York Times is now tracking graphic novels again in their bestseller list. This is largely due to Marvel and DC graphic novels having increased sales, in addition to manga. The Times stopped including graphic novels in their bestseller list in 2017. Starting October 2nd they will now be available online and in print on October 20th.
“We are thrilled to bring back to our readers graphic books and mass market best sellers as two monthly best-seller lists,” said Pamela Paul, editor of the Book Review. “Our new monthly graphic books list combines the format as it exists across all platforms — hardcover, paperback and digital — in order to represent the range of ways in which publishers create and people of all ages read these books. And readers are passionate about the many genres — from horror to romance — represented on the mass market fiction list.
