Due to the limited interest in non-fantasy stories among the graphic novel demographic, the line has produced only a handful of books over its decade-long history. While almost all have received critical acclaim, none have reached high sales amongst the general graphic-novel and comic book reading populace, although two of the imprint's books ( A History Of Violence and Road To Perdition ) have been adapted into successful films and Scott McCloud 's Understanding Comics is considered one of the authoritative bibles of the medium. The true-life anthology series of Big Books has also found a niche following.

Due to low sales amongst the line, it was phased out, so most of the books under this imprint are out of print for the foreseeable future. Those books which have remained in print are now released under DC's more lucrative Vertigo label.
