MIXX'S SAILOR MOON MANGA IS THE NUMBER 1
GRAPHIC NOVEL OR TRADE PAPERBACK IN AMERICA!
Los Angeles, June 18, 1999 -- It's official, the public loves
Sailor Moon! According to Diamond Comic Distributors, Inc. Sailor Moon
#3 ranks number 1 in May's "Graphic Novel and Trade Paperback" category
-- outranking such classics as Batman, Spawn, and The Flash.
The engaging story of Bunny (an average girl who hates school and loves
sleeping, boys, and videogames) who discovers that she is really
Champion of Justice Sailor Moon, has captured the hearts and
imaginations of children across the world. Now, Sailor Moon is ready to
use her Crystal Powers to entrance America. Filled with non-stop action,
adorable illustrations, and the classic story of good vs. evil, it is no
wonder that children across the globe have fallen in love with our
reluctant super hero.
Mixx Entertainment holds the exclusive American publishing rights to
Sailor Moon and has always seen the potential for this unlikely
superhero. Chapters of Sailor Moon were featured in Mixx's first
magazine publication MixxZine® and now runs in every bimonthly issue of
their innovative cyber-teen girl magazine SMILE™. Mixx will be releasing
even more exciting Sailor Moon manga, comics, and novels for eager
readers soon.
