| abstract | - The Girl Genius comic was first published in the size and shape of an ordinary comic book. The comic books were collected at intervals and reprinted in trade paperback (i.e., graphic novel) collections. However, in 2005, the Foglios ceased publication of the comic books and began releasing new pages one at a time on the web. Publication of the comic in trade paperback form continued, though. They publish approximately one per year (ideally, in time for summer convention season), after the main story pages for it have all appeared online. Notes:
* The short stories do not appear in the same position in the printed collections as they do in the comic online. Online, the short stories have been inserted into the flow of the main story pages at arbitrary points, interrupting it, when the Professors felt they needed a break from working on the main Girl Genius story. In print, the short stories are presented separately from the main story, as end matter. The three episodes of Revenge of the Weasel Queen, which have appeared in the normal date sequence of the online comic, have not, as yet, been published in print in any form.
* The URLs of new pages include a date string such as "20050406" which represents the four-digit year (2005), the two-digit month (04; April), and two-digit day (06) of release. However, the online dates before 4 April 2005 are "faked" for previously published material; they are not actual release dates (the work was first released in print and then re-released on the web between 2005 and 2007 as Girl Genius 101).
