The Evolution of the Comics Media Tie-in

By Shannon O’Leary | 01/11/2011 @ 12:00AM

The trailer (not the movie) for the film adaptation of Alan Moore’s seminal graphic novel caused an uptick in sales from 45,000 copies in 2007 to 300,000 in 2008. At the time, it was strongly believed those readers would return to book and comics stores to buy more graphic novels.
