Comics can be bought at many, often wildly different prices with many different presentations, each one appealing to different kinds of fans.Even then, some collected editions may not be very straightforward— something like a trade paperback can be printed at different sizes at different companies, and formats like omnibuses or compendiums don’t have an official standard, meaning different things to different printers. There’s a minefield of minutiae to navigate, but luckily, it can all be very easily understood with a few explanations.They can sometimes be printed at a larger size like some of DC’s Black Label titles, releasing with a more deluxe 8.5 x 10.8 inch trim.
