 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?
 

Hmm, soft-cover Asterix books here in Oz, both dans l'Anglais et aussi dans la Francais, are about ‎29 x 22 cm.
The hardcovers are a few millimetres - maybe 5? - larger each way.
