Whatever I posted, it wasn't the final recipe, as what you were working with still had lots of junk in it. This is closer to the final I came up with, but my earlier version had some text that identified the comic. You want it rotated, so I removed the text above to give more room for the comic.

Try this:

Hey Starson, thanks so much for posting the code. It definitely looks a lot cleaner without the text above and makes it more readable. Unfortunately, it is still clipping it at the top for some of the comics. I looked at the html test version and it still seems to be outputting some sort of table (you can see the outline) even though you removed it. Starting to wonder if my output settings are messed up in calibre. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, but it seems like it keeps the settings (my custom recipes and scheduled were still there after the new install)

here is what it looks like
