Is Sin city? Or am I missing something?
TMNT original series.
Batman: Black & White
Probably Mad Magazine. After that probably Creepy. Then Cracked.
Depending where… In France, I think it’s Corto Maltese.
“Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.” Goethe
Love & Rockets, , Strangers in Paradise, The Walking Dead all have a claim.
Walking Dead has spawned a handful of TV series, some books I think, and supposedly some future movies so in terms of making money it’s def. up there.
The most popular I can think of:
Mafalda
Tintin (it was originally black and white)
Persepolis
Maus
The Walking Dead
TMNT
Corto Maltese
Sin City
The Crow
As a character, I think Mafalda and Tintin are the most popular by far
TMNT and The Walking Dead are probably the most popular franchises

"The Batman is Gotham City. I will watch him. Study him. And when I know him and why he does not kill, I will know this city. And then Gotham will be MINE!"-BANE
"We're monsters, buddy. Plain and simple. I don't dress it up with fancy names like mutant or post-human; men were born crueler than Apes and we were born crueler than men. It's just the natural order of things"-ULTIMATE SABRETOOTH
Haven't some of these comics mentioned been printed in colour or plus one colour? By plus one, I meaning something like this--
This was either printed with two colours (besides the black, those would be yellow and cyan) or one pantone colour, if it was a special print run.
I don't know about popular, but for my money FROM HELL was one of the best books in black and white that I ever got. It was in a phonebook, printed on cheap paper (I think it later got a pricey paper stock, but the beauty of my copy was that it was cheap, proving that comics don't need to be fancy to be great).

Well, The Walking Dead is the sales metric. So it's the easy winner.
Hard to say when you add in books that are very popular in Not America, and have been around much longer than TWD, too.

Calvin, Peanuts, yeah. No doubt, but being daily strips, I didn't count them.
Good call on Bone. I didn't think of that one.
Not as big, but still very popular, Xenozoic Tales (aka Cadillac and Dinosaurs)
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
It's either Maus or Persepolis, at least for the most well known
