Gelistet sind hier nur die Titel der größeren US - Verlage ( = die, die im "Previews" - Katalog meist im vorderen Teil gelistet sind, oder aber aber einen eigenen monatlichen Katalog dem "Previews" beilegen!)
(Das Nachfolgende ist auch nur 'ne Art "Querschnittsrechnung" aus dem, was von Januar bis Mitte Dezember in US- Heftchenform in unseren Läden über die Ladentische ging bzw. in Euren Abo-Fächern auf Euch wartete...)
...und um Nachfragen vorzubeugen, "wieso" die DCs als einziger Verlag von mir eine "Top 20" Liste spendiert bekamen: wie schon seit mehreren Jahrzehnten (!), verkaufen sich deren Publikationen in unseren Shops weitaus erfolgreicher (als z.B. die Sachen aus dem sogenannten "House Of Ideas")
