And if you look to your right, you will see a Story Page in its natural habitat.

"Story pages" are commonly used in Japanese manga magazines such as TV Magazine and Comic Bon Bon, but should not be confused with actual manga.

Story pages are 2-page spreads (usually in color, but not always) which tell the events of an adventure through montage artwork with narration and background info spattered all over the place.

The Transformers, in Japan, have had many of their most important battles told exclusively through story pages, particularly toward the end of Generation 1 when the line's popularity was declining and they no longer warranted the page space for manga.

With few exceptions (the occasional OVA or manga special), Zone, Battlestars and Operation Combination were told almost exclusively through story pages.
