One-Shot

A one-shot is a term used to describe a single stand-alone comic book or graphic novel publication that is not sequentially tied to any other comic book title. Many one-shot issues are identified as issue #1, but there are no subsequent issues following it. Others are identified solely by their title with no numerical quantifier. Such issues are alternately identified "nn". The 1989 prestige format graphic novel Batman: The Killing Joke is an example of a one-shot special.
