Check out Comixpress.com.

They've got a good FAQ as far as sizes for printing different styles of comics.

They also have an Adobe Illustrator template that have the guide for Live Area, Trim, and Bleed.

Be aware that every printer has their own specs that can differ depending on the print method and type of book.

It is best to check with the printer you are going use about what and how they would like your book setup.
