Compendium
ππ©π₯ππ§π―ππΎπ₯
In the context of comics, a compendium collects the complete works of a franchise for a given time span, author, or series. They're usually over 500 pages long, and often over twice that. Even then, comics are so prolific that a compendium is likely to be merely a single volume of a larger series.
Their 6β β³ Γ 10ΒΌβ³ (168 mm Γ 260 mm) paperback format is the same as a regular trade paperback, only thicker. Compare with an omnibus, which collects the same mammoth set of issues in a more expensive large hardcover book.
