NEWS: Top Selling Irish Creators Through Diamond For January

Diamond Distribution has released their top 300 selling single issues and graphic novels for January. Although last month was a little lighter than previous months in terms of Irish representation there was still plenty to talk about on both lists.

Garth Ennis was the top selling Irish creator on the single issue list with his issue of The Boys #62 coming in at #114 on the list. He was closely followed by Nick Roche on the smart Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye #1 coming in at #121. Stephen Thompson's latest issue of Hellraiser from BOOM! Studios came in at #180. The last issue on the list this month was Declan Shalvey's last issue of Northlanders which came in at #210.
