N = New listing appearing on list for first time 
R = Item returning to the list after having been off for 1 or more weeks

Commentary: 
  • The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse stays on top for the eighteenth straight week.
  • The top debut this week is the pre-order for the Dune graphic novel adaptation (due out in October). Last week's top debut, the pre-order for September's Solutions and Other Problems, is gone from the top fifty entirely this week, fairly typical for pre-orders for highly anticipated books that aren't due our for several months, and I'd expect to see Dune to likewise disappear for a while until we get closer to its release date.
  • The only other debut this week is the collection of Superman Smashes the Klan. It actually was released over a month ago, but now finally seems to be gaining some traction.
  • Typically the week before Father's Day would see Jeffrey Brown's Darth Vader and Son and Vader's Little Princess in the top ten. They are both on the chart this week, but somewhat lower than usual.
  • Several DC hardcover collections—Harleen, The Batman Who Laughs, DCeased, and Batman: Last Knight on Earth—return to the chart this week, as they were part of Amazon's week-long 3 for 2 sale.
  • Sorry this chart isn't being posted until Sunday, though the chart positions are from Friday afternoon (as per the timestamp on the post).
  • Wash you hands. Wear a face mask when in public, enclosed spaces. Practice sensible social distancing. Read comics.
