Dog Man and Cat Kid creator Dav PIlkey continued his dominance of the Top 20 book channel Kids graphic novels, based on NPD BookScan data for August 2022 (7/31/22-9/3/22) provided to ICv2. He created 60% (12) of the Top 20, led by Cat Kid Comic Club: On Purpose in the #1 slot. The missing Pilkey title, as it was last month, is Dog Man and Cat Kid.
The latest Cat Kid Comic Club, released in April, was one of only two 2022 releases on the August chart, along with the new FGTEEV volume; the rest were all evergreens from earlier years.
