Fixed.
And graphic novels tend to not just suggest Trade Paperbacks which is in fact a collection of issues of a comic.
Graphic novels tend to be runs of a comic that were intended to be read as one complete story. Watchmen, V for Vendetta, pretty much anything by Loeb and Sale this sort of thing. Graphic novels are just what they sound. Not simply a story which has no predetermined length, but a novel.
Although usually considered a Trade Paperback (TPB) stuff like Preacher volumes are only sort of Graphic Novels. They basically just collect issues of an ongoing series together. In titles like Spiderman only major storylines are collected, random 1 issue or 2 issue arcs are very rarely collected unless some sort of epic revelation or storyline is in them.
