How many pages in a Short story/ Graphic Novel or Series?

[GrimRose]

How many pages in a short story comic are there usually, to be considered a short story.
How about a graphic novel?
As for a long running comic series what would that be considered if you ever decided to print your comic?

Kind of hard to answer. The truest answer is "as many as it takes." Some stories can be told in 5 pages. Some require 500.

A "short story comic" is probably on the order of 2-20 pages? A "graphic novel" is probably more in the 50-100 ballpark?

For my long running comic, I just put together "volumes" of ~75 comic pages. I did a kickstarter recently for Volume 1, which was the first 3 online "chapters" of ~25 pages each.

It definitely depends on the context of your story. My shortest one is only 8 pages long, while my longest is 30~ pages. I would say the low end is around 30-50, and the high end is around 80-100.

For an American comic book, the typical amount of story pages comes to about 22. So think of 22 pages as a single "issue" and work from there.
