back issues
Old magazine copies
Back issues are previous editions of a periodical—magazines, newspapers, comics, or journals published before the current one.
Collectors seek back issues of comics for rare first appearances; researchers consult back issues for historical coverage: The library keeps back issues going back to 1952.
Also refers informally to chronic problems with one's back: My back issues flare up in cold weather.
