Comic Art Pages

[Firebrand32]

Does anyone know what type of paper most artists use for their comic pages? What type of pages do companies want for submissions, and where can you purchase these pages? Thanks!

Someone can correct me on this, because I am not actually a profesional comic artist, but I think its mostly done on Bristol Board 10"x15" (that leaves you a half inch to an inch of "bleed space" that will get cut off.) The thing is its hard to find Bristol Board in that exact size, so most aspiring comic artists have to cut it themselves. You can get Bristol Board at most art stores, it isn't very cheap though. :( I like to draw on Vellum (as opposed to Smooth), but that's just up to your preference.

I used to know this, I believe its 18 by 11and a half, but I could be wrong. I used to see bundles for sale in comic shops in sets of 18 and 24 so you could do a whole comic, I don't think they were very expensive.
