I don't think anybody thinks most of the categories you mention are "an
>average comic book." The mainstream comic book market is still 32
pages.</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>actually, i would disagree with that -- the 32 page comic is a tiny part of
the mainstream market - and seems to primiarly go to the small market of comic
book shops. In my town, there is no place to buy those old format
comic.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>the current mainstream format appears to be 200 page black and white digest
size.comics.</DIV>
<DIV>(with some in color).. Those I can buy local - . the 32 page jobs, i
can only buy mailorder - or drive 50 miles.</DIV>
