That seems almost possible, though the wings would maybe be just too thick to stack over each other and still leave room for the figure without him being pressed up against the bubble. Of course then there would be no BAF part and the helmet head could fit into a corner. If they had done it that way it would probably still have been a store exclusive like the MCU Falcon.

Don't they sometimes compile famous comics into a graphic novel? Like, I think Hush was originally comics, wasn't it?

Also, is a trade paperback a specific type of phyiscal comic?

For Moon Knight volume 7 issues 1 through 6 are a pretty great read if you already know the character decently, there is no refresher but each issue is its own story so there's no running plot you need to be familiar with. Warren Ellis and Declan Shalvey did some great work there. The rest of volume 7 is also really good but I know that I've seen issues 1-6 collected into one TPB and it's an excellent taste to see if you wanna go the rest of the way. If you're already a giant Moon Knight fan like me then volume 8 by Jeff Lemire and Greg Smallwood is a very interesting and trippy read. However you need to know your stuff going in as there is no hand-holding here and it takes full use of the schizophrenic angle.

Going digital is probably the easiest way to get the old stuff since you can quickly search it up if they have it. Now if you don't like reading digital then there are usually TPB collections of these older iconic stories but they kind of need to be iconic or well loved to even get a TPB, otherwise you just have to find an omnibus which has the content you want.

A trade paper back (TPB) is when a company collectively releases multiple issues into one book typically making an entire story available at once for easy reading (as opposed to having to find all separate issues). Technically they are not graphic novels but they do tend to read like them since it's one whole story. TPBs can range from anywhere like 3 to 10 issues or even more (though more than 10 usually is just a collected volume). Batman: Hush is technically not a graphic novel (except that it's an illustrated story) it is a TPB collection of separate issues which were all a part of the Hush story. Many collected stories are often later mislabeled as graphic novels because more people will be familiar with the TPB over the stack of separate issues. It's not entirely wrong to call them that but they weren't released as one super long comic and usually "graphic novel" means that it's released as one long story at once to begin with.
