"Story pages" are commonly used in Japanese manga magazines such as TV Magazine and Comic Bom Bom, 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 One 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, The Battlestars (the Return of Convoy fiction), and Operation Combination were told almost exclusively through story pages.
