AKICIF: The Shape of Asterix

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?
