Glossary of comic book jargon

Comic - a book containing sequential art that can be printed in a number of ways.  Ongoing titles appear as monthly issues of 22 pages and are sold in specialist comic shops and online.  Monthly issues are also referred to as magazines, floppies and pamphlets.  These ongoing titles can be collected into trade paperbacks, graphic novels and collected editions.  They can also appear as original graphic novels, having never been sold as monthly issues.  Comics can be about any type of story or any genre.  They are not limited to superhero stories. 

At long last, we present to you the glossary of comic book terms!  Listed in alphabetical order, this glossary will provide you with an explanation for comic book jargon.  If you feel something is missing or you want further explanation, please let us know.

Words in bold will have their own definition elsewhere in the glossary.
