| 1 | An {{anthology}} work which, as the name suggests, specializes in one particular genre of fiction. Like your standard anthology, there are no regular characters between stories (at best, you'll have a slew of recurring actors), with the possible exception of a host or narrator who [[FramingDevice introduces/closes/comments on each story]]. See also AnthologySeries. |
| 2 | |
| 3 | The most common genres tackled in these collections are {{Horror}} and SpeculativeFiction, since the self-contained nature of each story allows for the brief exploration of more experimental ideas and concepts without having to worry about the need for continuity, allowing the creators to put characters in unwinnable situations or kill everyone off. |

| 21 | * ''ComicBook/ActionComics'' |
| 22 | * ''ComicBook/AdventureComics'' was DC's second anthology comic, focusing on adventures before shifting to super-heroes. |
| 23 | * ''ComicBook/DetectiveComics'' was not quite the first genre anthology in comic books, but it was the first successful single-genre anthology comic, laying the groundwork for the format that would be most popular through MediaNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks. |
| 24 | * 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 ComicBook/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. |
| 25 | * All of the Creator/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 MediaNotes/TheComicsCode Authority 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. |
| 26 | * ''ComicBook/{{Showcase}}'' was a DC comics anthology from the 1950s notable for introducing the Silver Age incarnations of Franchise/TheFlash, Franchise/GreenLantern, and ComicBook/TheAtom and other noteworthy characters like ComicBook/RipHunter, ComicBook/TheCreeper and the ComicBook/ChallengersOfTheUnknown as well as featuring the very first comic adaptation of a ''Film/JamesBond'' film. |
| 27 | * ''ComicBook/SensationComics'' |
| 28 | * Most Creator/MarvelComics titles published in the 1950s were SpeculativeFiction, crime, or horror anthologies. Several books such as ''Uncanny Tales'', ''World of Mystery,'' ''World of Suspense,'' ''World of Fantasy'', ''Mystery'', and ''Menace'' didn't make it past the end of the decade. Other titles were better remembered due to later spinning off or being rebranded as superhero titles the following decade when the genre was successfully revived. These include: |
| 29 | ** ''Amazing Adventures'', later ''Amazing (Adult) Fantasy'' (spun off ComicBook/SpiderMan). Revived briefly in the 70's as a super-hero and sci-fi adventure book, featuring characters like the ComicBook/BlackWidow, ComicBook/TheInhumans, [[ComicBook/BeastMarvelComics The Beast]], and ComicBook/{{Killraven}}. |
| 30 | ** ''ComicBook/TalesOfSuspense'' (rebranded as ComicBook/CaptainAmerica while also spinning off Comicbook/IronMan) |
| 31 | ** ''ComicBook/TalesToAstonish'' (rebranded as the [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]]) |
| 32 | ** ''ComicBook/JourneyIntoMystery'' (rebranded as [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]]) |
| 33 | ** ''ComicBook/StrangeTales'' (rebranded as ComicBook/DoctorStrange, while also mixing in {{Horror}} fiction with Brother Voodoo and Spy fiction with ComicBook/NickFury) |
| 34 | * Creator/{{Marvel}} Fanfare ({{Superhero}}) |
| 35 | * ''House of Mystery'', which started out as a Horror comic, switched genres to SpeculativeFiction and MysteryFiction in the mid-50's due to backlash against horror comics and the introduction of the Comics Code, added in Superhero fiction during the Silver Age, and returned to a horror setting in the 70's. |
