'The Walking Dead, Vol. 19' takes top spot on graphic novel best-sellers list this week

Today is Tuesday, so that means it’s time for my weekly breakdown of this week’s New York Times lists of best-selling graphic novels. According to those lists, there are two new books at the top of the two major graphic novel lists this week.

“Fairest: In all the Land” by Bill Willingham and others replaced “Batman, Vol. 3” by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo as the No. 1 book on the Hardcover Graphic Books best-sellers list.

“The Walking Dead, Vol. 19” by Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard replaced “The Walking Dead, Vol. 13” by Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard as the top book on the Paperback Graphic Books best-sellers list.

There were three books on this week’s Hardcover Graphic Books best-sellers list that weren’t on that list last week. They (and their places on the list) included “Fairest: In All the Land” by Bill Willingham and others (1), “Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time” by Hope Larson (2) and “Injustice: Gods Among Us, Vol. 1” by Tom Taylor and Jheremy Raapack (4).

There were three books on this week’s Paperback Graphic Books best-sellers list that wasn’t on that list last week. They included “The Walking Dead, Vol. 19” by Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard (1), “Drama” by Raina Telgemeier (8) and “Boxers and Saints” Boxed Set by Gene Luen Yang (10).

As a reminder, I’m posting these lists each Tuesday because they, as a whole, represent a great, contemporary recommended reading list. These lists are initially released each week on Sunday, and if you’re interested in reading them then, visit The New York Times’ Web site at www.nytimes.com. Below you’ll find both of this week’s best-seller lists.
