Market analysis from Diamond Comics Distributors has suggested that comic sales are back on the rise.

The firm's initial sales reports for February showed a month-to-month increase of 19.72% compared to January, while unit sales rose more than 20%, Newsarama reports.

DC's Green Lantern #62 was the bestselling issue of the month, followed by Brightest Day #19 and #20 in second and third respectively.

Due to multiple shipping, Marvel's Amazing Spider-Man #654.1 occupied four spaces in the top 20, coming in at 10, 12, 14 and 15. The publisher's highest ranking comic was Avengers #10 in fourth.

Marvel increased its lead in the Dollar and Unit share race, coming away with a significant lead over DC in both categories. Image Comics lost share to Dark Horse and Dynamite.

February's bestselling graphic novel was DC's Return Of Bruce Wayne hardcover, fending off competition from the first volume of Image's Morning Glories.

Year-on-year, graphic novels saw a 6.92% increase compared to February 2010, but sales of individual issues fell slightly in both dollars and units.
