A comic book series is a comic book format featuring periodic distribution of newspapers, newsagents, or freedoms.

The series can be configured without a predetermined conclusion, or as miniseries or limited series, that is, with a predetermined number of albi. Among the longest series, Detective Comics, which began in 1937 and which in 2017 has exceeded 900 numbers, The Amazing Spider-Man, debuted in 1963 and closed after reaching 700 numbers in 2012 or Diabolik, debuted in 1962 and published again in 2017 after more than 800 numbers. Collars are usually distributed in the form of brochures or brocade volumes. In the US market it is common that a series of ribbons proposed in twisted or newsstand format are then reproposed in cartonized volumes, known as trade paperbacks (or TPs).

Typically, the comic book series hosts continuity stories of the protagonists, and can be published at the same time as series with the same character as usual, such as the major publishing cases such as Marvel Comics, which in 2009 published The Amazing Spider -Man, Ultimate Spider-Man and Spider-Man Noir, all featuring Spider-Man. Often, however, majors tend to create crossover stories, that is to say interact with different series characters and start a narrative arc in a series and end it in another.
