Commentary:

* Persepolis, Maus, and Understanding Comics are at #2, 3, & 4 on the chart; looks like college classes are starting soon!

* Several debuts this week, led by the latest Complete Peanuts Boxed Set at #10 and the We3 special edition at #18.

* The long-out-of-print Hobbit adaptation sneaks up onto the list again. Strange...
