We found out this week that “Space Doubles” made the Top 300 comics in Febuary!

The major publishers’ slates were actually smaller in February 2008 than they had been in recent months — the top five publishers placed 232 comics in the Top 300, versus 246 in January. The result was that 32 publishers made the Top 300, a larger number than in a while. One new publisher made the list for the first time: the numerically named Th3rdworld, whose Space Doubles #1 came in 300th place.

While Th3rdworld’s offering was at the $2.99 level, historically, smaller publishers have generally had higher price points — and one partial result of the leaner major-publisher offerings last month may have been seen in the average cost of comics in the Top 300. It was the highest ever recorded.

So we owe a big thanks to all the retailers that ordered it and all the readers who bought it!
