What size paper do you draw on? What are the margins/bleeds/cutoff that you typically use or like does Image give you specs?

I draw on 11 by 17 for most of my stuff with a margin of a half inch on each side & & inch on the top and bottom –basically I try to keep the lettering inside ‘10 by ‘15. That’s for standard comic size– anything that lines up with 

7.38" X 10.74   with a trim size of 6.63" x 10.24" (16.84 x 26.01 cm) King city pages were a little smaller & printed a little bigger. –known as Golden age size. 

Most of my pages are full bleed. Here’s a page from my DHP The speaker story. You can see I messed up on the middle panel and then drew it again on another piece of paper. Comics is interesting in that the final printed thing is all that really matters but by the time you get to that you’re long past done with it.
