I see the 32 page comics in my local pharmacies, at least 3 that  
immediately come to mind.  Usually DC and Marvel, an occasional Archie.

The supermarkets have the Archie digests.

Barnes and Noble has the comic-book dimension graphic novels.

Comic shop of course have pretty much everything but focus on the 32  
pagers.  I see the Gemstones and Archies glommed together in the  
"kids" section. I have seen parents bring their kids into the shop  
and get something for them.   I assume that a price concerned parent  
would pick up an Archie, but that a Disney-fan parent would pick up a  
Gemstone.
