now just to make sure... a US comic is a flimsy publication often not more than 30 or so pages, not like the Asterix (sp?) comics I remember from Germany that resembled an Analog or Amazing publication; usually at least 150 or so pages with an almost rigid spine, kind of a booklet if you will. this could be a matter of semantics

Comic books, or graphic novels, are very popular in European countries such as Belgium, France and Italy. They usually have hard covers and a rigid spine, are about A4-size and around 1cm thick. Also, hardback comic annuals of a similar size are published in the UK.
