Line 17:
Sometimes, periodicals are numbered in absolute numbers instead of volume-relative numbers, typically since the start of the publication. In rare cases, periodicals even provide both: a relative issue number and an absolute number.<ref name="DrDobbs_1978_V3N2I22"/><!-- examples: Minolta-Spiegel --> There is no universal standard for indicating absolute numbers, but often a '#' is used.
 
The first issue of a periodical is sometimes also called a premiere issue or charter issue.<ref name="PC_1982_V1N1"/> The first issue may be preceded by dummy or zero issues. A last issue is sometimes called the final issue.<ref name="Thompson_1990_N53"/> In [[comic books]], a first issue will often include a [[first appearance]] by a new character, although a first appearance can happen in other issues as well.
