Look at the section of the book's description that says Features. You'll generally see Flowing text, Original pages or both. Flowing Text means ePub and Original Pages means PDF. As I understand it sometimes the PDF is one provided by the publisher, other times it's generated from the ePub.

My hunch is they are not in PDF format, but in some sort of proprietary format. My reasons are, they offer 'Bubble text' and tell the consumer to download the Google Play book app for their particular device. You might want to contact their helpline and get a firm answer from them.

The one comic I have from them has "original pages" and downloads as a PDF.
