Key quotes
· 3 pulledThe DC Compact Comics line has been a wonderful opening up of DC's back catalogue to new readers – and to a few old ones as well.
Part of that has been the 5.5" x 8.5" format, part of it the $9.99 price point and the DC Compact Comics 13.5" W x 16.5" D x 57" T shelving that presents the line.
As the line grows, DC Comics is providing more shelving to comic stores.
