How many comic books exist?

Total comics in circulation right now in the world 1933 to present -

I am thinking 9,000,000,000 any other suggestions?

 

Fantastic question. comics.org has listings for 727,000 individual issues.

 

If we presume an average print run of 10,000 copies (you'd have to put a lot of work into ballparking that for real, but it's a place to start), you're looking at

 

7,270,000,000.

 

So you might not be that far off!

 

edit -- of course, that doesn't take destruction into account. :P
