Comic companies at one time made sample comics of the same size 
to "try out" titles or characters.  These sample comics were not intended for 
sale 
and were intended to be thrown away in the "ashcan" after be shown.  Some of 
these comics were kept and became collectible.  A fews years ago they made 
comics this size and called them ashcans.  The Disney Halloween comic by Gemstone 
was of this size, so it was also called an ashcan.  It was not intended for 
sale, only to be given away.  I also gave 200 away.  I still have a few left if 
anyone wants one, for the cost of mailing.
