>When it's reality it's that those other markets stopped wanting them.
Part of the problem with the newsstand market was they were keeping unsold copies to resell. The newsstand market was already unreliable with how they ordered comics because of how comics were distributed locally and how long it took for sales information to get back to publishers. Sales information which then impacted print sizes. The reason why comics publishers moved away from newsstands is because: comicshops ordered in bulk, in more correct amounts with a no returns policy. Newsstands just never got into reliable ordering systems because comics were such a low margin item for them to put effort into.
