   I found a copy of Asterix I picked up on Free Comic Book Day a few   
   years ago and wondered why I hadn't read it.   
      
   The answer is that I can't.   
      
   It was shrunk to fit American comic-book pages, and I can't see the   
   letters without my needle-threading glasses, which are never in reach   
   when the book is.   
      
   The pages have extra-wide top and bottom margins.  Metric paper is   
   taller and narrower than American Customary paper -- the extra-wide   
   margins should be on the sides.   
      
   So my question is:  What size and shape are European comic books?
