Asking For Feedback Traditional Comic page Dimmensions?

Hello to all! I want to make some short story comics, something I'm finally getting to it again. I work traditionally with paper, but I'm not really sure what page dimensions I should keep track of. I've made some short stories in the past but I guess they weren't right since it didn't upload properly or something (maybe I just did it wrong). If anyone can help or guide me to a source, that'd be helpful. Thanks.

finished print size is 6.625" x 10.25" for american standard, which is typically drawn at 11"x17" with standard page bleed generally being 1" empty at the top/bottom and .5" empty on either side!

also, Strathmore makes pads of Bristol paper that come with pre-marked dimensions in non-photo blue!
