How many comic book stores are there in the United States?
July 312009
I am working on a project and I’m having troubles finding statistics on Comic Book Stores. I know I’m doing something wrong, just not sure what.
Like others said, this will be a very difficult statistic to find, and probably not something posted anywhere on the net directly. However, there is probably a way to find out. One company distributes all the comics in the United States, called Diamond Comics. They run a service called comic store locate service:

This is a searchable list by city of nearly every comic book shop in the country. However, because of the volume, you can not see a straight out list. I would recommend calling their customer service, and asking them, because they are going to be the only people with any sort of clue:
The number is:
Phone: (410) 560-7100
Good luck, and if you do find out, please post.

find out how many are in your city and take it’s population
and just approximate it because i highly doubt that you’ll find a website giving you an accurate number of comic book stores, as many are run by an individual
