Trade paperback (comics)

A trade paperback is like a big book that has a lot of comic books in it. Imagine you have a bunch of small comic books in your hand, but you want them all to be in one big book so it's easier to read or keep on your shelf. That's what a trade paperback does! It puts all those smaller comic books together in one big book, so you can have them all in one place. This also makes it easier to collect and read whole stories, since they are all together in one book. Plus, you don't have to worry about losing one of the smaller individual comic books!
