Mystery on two pages in each board in the 70s...

[Ferran Delgado]

Eelco commented me that his splash of Defenders #17 was also drawn in a single board. Check out his CAF gallery for a larger image:

Notice that it's written "July" at the top when the issue has November cover date.

Lettering was done in a different board. Notice also the note at the margin about it.

 

I could find this kind of practice from Defenders #13 (May, 1974) till #17 (Nov, 1974).

Great stuff Ferran. I love that there are still a few little mysteries still surrounding the bronze age.

Here is another one:

 

[AKA Rick]

I've seen a page from Marvel Team Up #23 Human Torch & Ice Man by Gil Kane that was a single page on a single board, so am not sure if for certain pages the art was doubled up or not, and the pages back in the 1970's had dialogue on 'em too.

AKA Rick,

 

The practice to include two pages in a single board like above just happened once in a single comic. The rest of the comic had one page per each board.

 

[Spider-Variant]

Yep, those are exactly the pages I am thinking.

 

Plus pull up Issue 139, the page where the Grizzly has Spider-Man by the foot.

 

Think that is the last one.

 

Well, Ferran and I speculated what pages were the two on one board for the Amazing Spider-Man.

 

My remember was still solid back in 2012.

 

 

This page was recently posted to comicartfans and is not mine. Posted only to illustrate another example.

Nice find! Thanks for the heads up!

I can't see the images in the rest of the thread, is it general or just for my browser?

I see some images missing but in the post before yours by Spider-Variant I see that image.

This thread is relatively old, so the original links to the photos most likely have been deleted. If I get any time, maybe I will try to restore some of them.
