Print run+ Zombie Tramp is actually readable IMO.

Both titles clearly dont have the comic book reader in mind so I wouldnt try evaluating them as decent literature

But as far as popularity? Zombie Tramp has had what? 17 titles overall? Its currently at issue #40

GFT has been around longer, has had over 130 (!) titles, its currently at vol II with over 130 books previous to that

A quick glance on eBay shows me a little over 1,000 items for zombie  and over 14k for GFT

GFT produces alot more volume and grosses more money, its 1st issues are in the teens when it comes to print run, so that clearly isnt a draw for its collector-base

Yet with Zombie Tramp it is... Amazing

What does it have to do with it?

how popular is zombie tramp in comparison to GFT?

Zombie orders are about 6k compared to 4k for Grimms.

That auction was for the self published and there is only 1 graded #1 on the census. These are probably new because there are no #2 9.8 SS's on the census.

Youre comparing 1 title of Zombie to 5-6 of GFT

And thats just from the past 2 months, GFT sales were probably a littler weak, just a little, but still much stronger overall

Go back a couple of months and see how ZT compares to GFT. No comparison

Zombie tramp has been hot for two years I'd say. At least that's when I started picking them up. But what's last week have to do with today anyway?

Sales on Comichron

And GFT has been hotter for a lot longer than that

If I remember Amazing Spider-man #700 was the last Marvel newsstand but I could be wrong. 

It was the last ASM issue, Superior had newsstands up to around issue 20, I don't think I've seen anything higher than that.

ZT's creator actively involves himself with fans. He travels to conventions everywhere and is very active on several Social Media platforms.

GFT doesn't focus on one character. ZT has a loyal following. The book is humorous. I am not saying its for everyone, but GFT appeals to a different buyer that doesn't seem to be as loyal.

Loyalty has NOTHING to do with popularity and sales 

[Aweandlorder]

I just think that people like self published books and in their collector's mind it justifies a high price tag 

It clearly shouldnt with ZT, as I can assure you that a TMNT it aint

But hey thats just my opinion

GFT is kiddie porn . . .

Power Girl 27 - Approaching $100 raw

I remember buying it when it came out because I was subscribed from when Amanda Conner was originally the artist, and can't really say I remember this issue besides it being the final issue.

Any particular reason this book is heating up? Cover image I take it?

I was raised down in the Southeastern part of the state, but moved up to Indianapolis for school and stayed for work.

I miss it a lot - mostly because I miss my old comic store.

Venom vs Carnage #2 (first Toxin) is heating up.

Just moved to Indy in April, the shops around here seem pretty good. Still looking for one with a lot of back stock though.

Nice to see some other Hoosiers on the board.
