" Comic sales have reached a 20-year high of an estimated $715 million (\u00C2\u00A3461 million). Sales of comics and graphic novels have reached a level not seen since 1993 or 1994 over the last year, according to The Comichron&amp;#039;s analysis of Bookscan data. A rise of $35 million (\u00C2\u00A322.6 million) was seen in 2012 compared to 2011. Inflation would put the 1993-1994 total figure at $1.1 billion (\u00C2\u00A3710 million). Shortly after that period, the comics market experienced a crash which saw Marvel Comics declare bankruptcy in 1996. The Bookscan figures do not take into account digital sales, UK sales or sales to libraries. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
