Comics anthology

A comics anthologies, also known as a comic magazine, collect works in the medium of comics, typically from multiple series, and compiles them into an anthology or magazine. The comics in these anthologies range from comic strips that are too short for standalone publication to comic book chapters that are later compiled into collected comic book volumes (such as manga tankobon and comic albums).
