The Complete Cosmicomics is a 2009 book that collects almost all of the Cosmicomic stories by Italian postmodern writer Italo Calvino.
The single volume collection includes the following:
Translator Martin McLaughlin explains the origins of the seven new stories in his introduction to The Complete Cosmicomics:
A little-known third collection – La memoria del mondo e altre storie cosmicomiche ("World Memory and Other Cosmicomic Stories") (1968), a volume not available commercially in Italy – offered 20 fictions in all, 12 from the previous two collections [Cosmicomics and t zero] and eight new pieces (seven of these new items are translated here for the first time into English; the other new 1968 tale, the title story, was translated by Tim Parks as "World Memory" in the 1992 volume Numbers in the Dark).
