to:

* All of the ECComics series were these covering a few genres, with each issue featuring four stories. The genres covered were primarily horror, science fiction, crime and war. When the ComicsCodeAuthority came clamping down and forced the cancellation of many titles the publisher got desperate and branched out into tamer fare. Bizarre new books started like ''Psychoanalysis'', which focused on patients visiting a psychiatrist, ''M.D.'', which showcase the day-to-day lives of doctors and ''EXTRA!'', which followed reporters in their investigations. Needless to say, the new books weren't successful and EC closed down soon after.

to:

* Historically, most British comics have tended to be anthologies. They would contain multiple strips per issue and replace one strip with another fairly often. Whilst comics like TheBeano, TheDandy, or 2000AD technically avert this trope by having some strips that have lasted decades, it's played straighter with titles like TVComic, which chopped and changed according to what was on TV at the time.
