This page provides '''lists of best-selling comic book series''' to date. It includes Japanese [[manga]], [[American comic book]]s, and [[European comics]].
This list includes [[comic book]]s that have sold at least 100{{nbsp}}million copies.

There are three separate lists, for three different comic book publication formats: [[Trade paperback (comics)|collected comic book]] volumes, periodical single-issue [[Glossary of comics terminology#Comic book|floppy comics]], and [[Comic anthology|comic magazines]]. They are separated because the sales figures of these publication formats are not directly comparable.

== Collected comic book volumes ==
This list is for comics printed in a traditional [[book]] format ([[paperback]] or [[hardcover]]), typically with a similar number of pages as [[novel]]s. The list includes [[graphic novel]]s printed exclusively in this format, and [[Trade paperback (comics)|trade paperback/hardcover]] books which compile periodical comic chapters/issues into larger collected volumes. Japanese manga [[tankōbon]] volumes and European [[comic album]]s account for the vast majority of collected comic book volume sales.<ref name="comichron2010">{{cite web |last1=Miller |first1=John Jackson |title=X-Men #1, One Piece, and world records |url=https://blog.comichron.com/2010/11/x-men-1-one-piece-and-world-records.html |website=Comichron |date=November 16, 2010 |access-date=June 4, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190604115643/https://blog.comichron.com/2010/11/x-men-1-one-piece-and-world-records.html |archive-date=June 4, 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref> American [[Trade paperback (comics)|trade paperbacks]] and [[graphic novel]]s are also included in the list.

These comic series were originally serialized either as chapters (typically 15-30 pages each) in comic publications (such as [[Comic anthology|comic magazines]]) or as single-page [[comic strip]]s in non-comic publications (such as newspapers), before being collected into a larger comic book volume (which compiles either multiple comic chapters or numerous comic strips).<ref name="comichron2010"/> For comic series originally serialized as chapters in comic magazines or [[manga magazines]], their estimated circulation figures in those magazines are given in footnotes.

== Periodical single-issue floppy comics ==
This list is for single-issue [[Glossary of comics terminology#Comic book|floppy comics]], also known as the [[American comic book]] format. Unlike the paperback book format, floppy comics are thinner [[periodicals]] and stapled together. Each floppy comic issue is typically 20–40 pages, and usually consists of a single chapter (as opposed to a larger comic book volume that typically includes multiple chapters). A floppy comic is comparable to a [[Comic anthology|comic magazine]], but is thinner in size and is dedicated to a single character or group of characters (whereas a comic magazine is thicker and serializes multiple different unrelated series).<ref name="comichron2010"/>

Single-issue floppy comics are the most common publication format for American comics, and account for the vast majority of American [[superhero]] comic sales.<ref name="comichron2018">{{cite web |title=2018 Comic Book Sales to Comics Shops |url=http://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales/2018.html |website=Comichron |access-date=January 25, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180128125315/http://comichron.com/monthlycomicssales/2018.html |archive-date=January 28, 2018 |url-status=live }}</ref> This list also contains periodical publications from other countries that are similarly dedicated to a single character or group of characters. Some of the numbers reported here may also include sales of trade paperback volumes, which account for a small portion of American comic sales.

According to the most recently available data, the best-selling American single-issue comic of all time was ''[[X-Men: Legacy|X-Men]]'' #1, which was published in 1991 and has since sold almost 8.2 million copies.

== Comic magazines ==
[[File:Jump-Cover-1.jpg|thumb|Cover of ''Weekly Shōnen Jump'' issue #1 (1968). ''[[Weekly Shōnen Jump]]'' is the best-selling [[Comic anthology|comic magazine]].]]

This list is for [[Comics anthology|comic magazine]]s, which are [[anthology]] [[magazine]]s that serialize multiple different unrelated comic series. This list includes Japanese [[manga magazines]], [[Franco-Belgian comics magazines|European comic magazines]], and English-language comic magazines.
