  Trade paperback - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A trade paperback (TPB), sometimes referred to as a trade paper edition) is a paperback book that is usually the same size as the hardcover edition.
Trade paperbacks are typically priced less than hardcover books and higher than mass market paperbacks.
In the medium of comic books, trade paperbacks are sometimes used to reprint several issues of a comic series in one volume, usually an important storyline or the entire series itself.

 Trade Paperback (comics) (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.isi.jhu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
For many years, trade paperbacks were mainly used to reprint older comic-book stories that were no longer available to the average reader, when original copies of those stories were scarce and hard to find, and often very expensive when found due to their rarity.
As the trade paperback versions are usually cheaper than buying the individual comics and presented without any advertisement s at all, many comic book fans choose to hold off on purchasing the individual issues and only follow the stories when they come out in trade.
Unlike the individual issues, the trade paperback has almost no collector's value, and will probably not appreciate in value, as the releases of the trade paperbacks are not restricted, and more could be printed at any time.

In comics, a trade paperback (TPB or simply trade) specifically refers to a collection of stories originally published in comic books reprinted in book format, usually capturing one story arc from a single title or a series of stories with a connected story arc or common theme from one or more titles.
Traditionally, a trade paperback will reproduce the stories at the same size as they were originally presented in comic book format; recently, however, certain trades have been published in a smaller, "digest"-sized format, similar in size to a paperback novel.
As the trade paperback versions are usually cheaper than buying the individual comics and presented without any advertisements at all, many comic book fans choose to hold off on purchasing the individual issues and only follow the stories when they come out in trade.

 Are Trade Paperbacks the Future of Comics?
A parent might be willing to buy their child a $2.50 comic book, but the $12.95 minimum for a trade paperback may be a different matter altogether.
While comic books may have begun as something for kids, they have matured beyond that, and the target audience is now in their teens, so the question of affordability may be moot.
The solution to this situation is that comics publishers will have to be ready and willing to publish a trade paperback featuring mutliple stand-alone stories, something they seem reluctant to do at the moment.

Odds are, if you’re a comics fan with even a little sense of history, you’ve heard of EC Comics.
At Comic Pants, we love the new, but sometimes we get nostalgic to talk up an older book or series and remember some greatness from “back in the day.” That “day” could be the extreme 90’s, the socially relevant 70’s, or the guys-wore-hats 50’s.
As a comic book reviewer, I’m not exactly the paragon of machismo anyway, but I’m going to confess something in this review that’ll kill even the little bit of respect I might have had: I studied dance in college.

 Echo Station Ep 1 Trade Paperback
No need to wait for the Episode I comics series to come out -- it's already been compiled into a trade paperback graphic novel.
I'm not an artist, or an expert on comics, but I can tell you that this graphic novel worked for me. My number one complaint about some of the Star Wars comics has always been that the characters didn't look anything like the actors in the movies.
All in all, I'd say this is a beautifully drawn, well produced book that should appeal to a lot of people besides just the usual X-Wing Rogue Squadron fans, of which I am one.

To promote their release of the Middle Man trade paperback, Viper Comics has made the first issue downloadable for free.
It’s not original — on her downtime, Wendy plays videogames and makes cracks about how the characters look, jokes that are likely very familiar to this comic’s audience — but it’s executed with skill.
The art, by Les McClaine, has the right kind of light-hearted attitude to carry the material, and I appreciate the way he tones his pages to add weight and solidity.

This includes a great many DC Comics' trade paperback perennials like V For Vendetta.
It's a smart request because it throws the spotlight on the fundamental exploitation of artists through various crappy deals by underlining the assumption that a long-ago contract engenders perennial support of said effort.
