Comic Cuts: Bestselling British Collections

I posted the last Top 13 (all I could manage) for the best-selling British graphic novels (i.e. collections of stories of UK origin rather than British editions of American GNs) back on September 17th. Here are the top positions for October 17th. I've broken it down into two as the list for 'graphic novels' on Amazon is dominated by annuals. Here's today's chart...
