Obama Sells The Most Comic Books In The Decade | SUPERHERO NEWS

So what single comic book sold the most copies in 2009? Yup the Amazing Spider-man title with Obama on the cover. What suprises me is that its the top selling comic book of the entire decade! I've got the issue - a 3rd printing, and I liked it. But the story where Spidey meets Barack is just about a 5 page backup story. Worth reading, yes. But Don't think that its the main point of the issue.

We all knew that President Obamas Inauguration was a big deal but who would have known that the excitement would sell comic books? We weren't surprised that Amazing Spider-Man #583 sold the most copies this year but nobody had any idea that it would sell the most copies during the entire decade.

Charts wizard John Jackson Miller places the commemorative issue, with all of its variant covers and re-printings, more than 183,000 copies ahead of the No. 2 comic of the decade, June 2006's Civil War #2 (issues of the Marvel miniseries claim six of the Top 10 spots).

Captain America #25, the March 2007 issue that featured the "death" of Steve Rogers, comes in at No. 5. DC Comics debuts at No. 8 with -- brace yourselves -- All-Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder #1.
