ComicBook documents (.cbr, .cbz, .cbt, .cba) are just compressed images.
In most cases, 1 image == 1 page of the document. But, sometimes, 1 image spans 2 document pages.
When you see a ComicBook document, in 2 pages view ("pagine affiancate", in italian, sorry, don't know in original), can you "guess" (using the size of the image, maybe) when you must consider 1 image == 1 page or 1 image == 2 pages?

You said it already, they are just images. There are no futher information provided about that, and the image size is far from being accurate.
Sorry, but with the information available this is not possible, basically.

Just to know, why "the image size is far from being accurate"? I don't know a case when

1) the extraction of the size from the file is incorrect (see identify, for e.g.)
2) an image with the width < of the height representing 2 pages
3) an image with the width > of the height representing 1 page

Can't just add an optional autorecognition?
