Comic Book Printing: Is there a Standard Comic Book Size?

estimated reading time: 2 minutes

You may be surprised to learn that there is no "absolute" standard size for modern Comic Books. Though the traditional comic book size of 6.625" wide x 10.25" high is still considered to be the standard for modern comics, many of today's comic books are created in a variety of sizes.

There's been a growing trend away from "Standards" and toward Differentiation

Because there is no absolute standard for the dimensions of comic books , independent comic book creators are free to choose any size they want. This is exactly what has been happening in recent years as creators explore different sizes in an effort to make their comic books unique.

As long as the printer you choose allows total customization, you are free to experiment with non-traditional sizes and formats.

What would generate the most intrigue and make your comic book stand out? An oversized book? An undersized book? A square book? Your comic book dimensions are completely up to you.

The only sizing constraint might be if the comic books are planned to be part of a series. In that case, the size should remain the same throughout the series. The books could still be a unique size, but once the size is determined it should remain consistent for the entire series.
