Hey Chums, for those that might find this useful, here's the sizes I draw my 2000AD comics at:
Page Size: 30.2cm x 39.43cm (this is bigger than A3 so you'll either need to use bigger paper trimmed, or, do as I do, draw to the edge, scan it in and then draw a little extra on the page in photoshop)
Panel Size (or the Safe Area, in other words - that area of the page that lettering will go into) 26.44cm x 35.79 cm
TRIM Size - if you want to full bleed the art the art needs to be drawn to the page size, but, between the page size and the trim size the art may get chopped for trim.
29.37cm x 38.59cm
(Hope that makes sense, for the most part, you should just draw in the panel size - if you want full bleed draw all the way to the page size)
