That's the difference between a graphic novel and a trade paperback. A TPB is a collection of issues from an ongoing monthly title, whereas a graphic novel can be a collection, but the issues were still a self-contained story, not part of a larger series (The Dark Knight Returns may have been Batman, but it still had nothing to do with the actual ongoing Batman monthly series).

Oh okay thanks, that's cool. I did not know that. So
Watchmen, as it only ran over a specified number of issues and then stopped, is a true Graphic Novel once collected, whereas, say,
Inferno Earth for Spiderman would be a Trade Paperback? Good to know.
