List of limited series

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In comic books (primarily American comic books), a limited series is a title given to a comic book series that is intended from the outset to have a finite length.

Each list is defined by publisher and the length by which each series ran. For the purposes of the lists, a limited series is defined as being one for which the publisher had announced the final issue number prior to or on the publication of the first issue.
