the original successful franchise, the series that was the mother of them all
the first term is a bit more formal, the second more informal, but both would explain the concept here.
from Wikipedia: The X-Men franchise, with its original stories of youthful alienation in which teens literally are the freaks they often figuratively feel like, has grown to become one of the most popular comic books producing dozens of spin-off series over the years and turning some of its writers and artists into industry stars.

| Hi Shannon, I'm not sure this is the concept; "collana madre" would be a series encompassing many other titles, each of which is a series. Thanks for your help. |
