collected edition

All works gathered

A collected edition gathers previously separate works into a single volume or set: the collected edition of Shakespeare's plays, a collected edition of her essays.

The term implies comprehensiveness—assembling everything or nearly everything by an author or on a subject.

In comics, collected editions compile individual issues into bound volumes, often called trade paperbacks or omnibuses.
