What other (non-manga) comics are available in this "pocket" format in America, if any? I don't think I've seen any, but are there any out there? I'd like to give some non-Disney ones a try before the Disney ones launch, just to see how the artists stack up when dealing with the format.<BR>

I only ask this because it seems that the "pocket" format seems extremely precise, in that it seems to only work with specific art styles. I mean, I'm a big fan of "Asterix," which looks really nice in the album format. I can't imagine "Asterix" being printed at a "pocket" size.<BR>

Thanks for reading this nonsense,<BR>
