What is missing in this article?[edit]

The article gives a correct definition of U.S. Comics published in TPB form.

It probably needs two more sections:

One section comparing and linking with other forms of comic books in other countries, e.g., Japanese Mangas or Franco-Belgian "albums" (e.g., Tintin's)
One section recalling the history and evolution of the American TPB. How it started relatively recently. How collections of reprints (e.g., Marvel Treasury Edition's in 1974) predated the actual form.
