Items with asterisks (*) are pre-order items.

N = New listing appearing on list for first time
R = Item returning to the list after having been off for 1 or more weeks


Commentary:

* 'Tis the season for comic strips collections. More specifically, there's a serious Calvin & Hobbes resurgence going on, with seven different C&H collections making the top 50 this week.

* There's a lot of sameness this week; outside of some of the C&H collections, there are only two other new items: Warriors Manga Box Set: Graystripe's Adventure at #37, and a Zits collection at #50.

* No manga on the list this week (despite the name, Warriors is a US production)

* In case you're wondering, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days is still hanging out at #5 on the overall Amazon bestsellers list.
