comic page sizes


(Bleeds are included in the image above 圖示含出血框)

Here is a comparison of some major comic and manga page formats for drawing and publishing.

一些歐美日主流的漫畫原稿紙尺寸與漫畫書大小之比較:

tankōbon Japanese B6 (12.8 × 18.2 cm) 日本漫畫單行本
tankōbon "Tokyopop trim" (approx. 5" × 7.5") 美版日本漫畫單行本
tankōbon A5 (14.8 × 21.0 cm) 日本漫畫單行本
comic book (6 ⅝" × 10 ¼") 美式漫畫
manga paper A4 (18.2 × 25.7 cm) 日式漫畫原稿紙
European comic album (8.4" × 11.6") 歐式漫畫
manga paper B4 (22 × 31 cm) 日式漫畫原稿紙
U.S. comic paper 11" × 17" (approx. 10" × 15") 美式漫畫原稿紙

I personally found that manga B4 format is proportionally the most flexible one adapting different publishing sizes.

相形之下我覺得日式漫畫原稿紙B4的內外框比例是兼容性最高的。

I used this template for comic paper 11" × 17".
