Comic book
A comic book is a flimsy, short, stapled book, more like a magazine than an actual bound book, that features one or more comics. It's a type of periodical, containing only a short episode of each featured comic.
Contrast with a longer graphic novel, which is an actual (bound, not stapled) book; a trade paperback, which combines a whole limited series of comics into a single book; and an omnibus, which generally combines several years' worth, if not an entire run, of a (usually either episodic or open-ended) long-running series into a long book.
