Indicia (publishing)
Indicia, from the plural of the Latin word indicium meaning distinguishing marks, is a piece of text in a magazine or comic book, traditionally appearing on the first recto page after the cover, which usually contains the official name of the publication, its publication date, issue number, information regarding editorial governance of the publication, and a disclaimer regarding disposition of unsolicited submissions. In the publishing trade it is often referred to as the flannel panel.
