While I expect that there are nowhere near a thousand US sales
accounted for on this list (a hundred would be pushing it), I should
note that I (as a fairly-long term list reader, but only occasional
poster) pretty much only get US when Don Rosa has a story being
printed, and even then only when it's one I don't already have. This
isn't because I'm not at all interested in other Disney artists, but
because, at nearly $7 an issue, I really can't justify getting US (or
WDC&S) every month. The determiner for me comes in whether or not Rosa
(who I've followed for over a decade and a half now, and is certainly
my favorite Duck-artist) has a new story coming out. If and when the
current comic publishers consider bringing Scrooge stories (not Donald
Duck or Mickey) down to "normal" prices, I might reconsider this
position.
Anyway, as a less-than-regular purchaser of US, I'm sure that will skew
the numbers somewhat.
