Circulation as Reported in Publishers' Statements of Ownership
Disney Comic Hits was Marvel's monthly anthology featuring characters from Disney's movies such as Toy Story, Pocahontas, and Aladdin. Film adaptation issues ran longer for a dollar more.
Heroes World Distribution figures account for around 7,000 copies of each issue on average, so newsstand sales accounted for the other 25,000 or so. That meant that, unusually, the largest contributor to the title's sales was postal subscriptions, likely spurred by joint marketing efforts from Marvel and Disney.
Some direct-market only information is available in the monthly reports.

STATEMENT HISTORY
We wouldn't really expect to find a Statement for 1995, since so little of the year was covered. |
