Have there been many Marvel picture frame covers since the 20-25-cent cover era?

 

How about this from 1983? Picture frame judges, cast your votes

Is Cat #1 a frame? I wouldn't think so but it looks to be the same time frame and only the bottom portion needs the black tab. Not quite like the War is Hell frames.

all you need is a sharpi and a ruller

Is Cat #1 a frame?

 

It should be (it came out the same month as Night Nurse 1 and Shanna 1), but for some reason they screwed up the bottom panel.

 

I think it is a Picture Frame, as I base it on a period in time, and it is similar to some of the unconventional ones we've seen so far.

[joe_collector]

For example, here is a cover I feel is a Picture Frame, but it's split to show Cap and Falcon breaking up their partnership. Plus, it really shows the inherent design of these books - an actual picture pasted on the cover.

I basically disagree on the Cap 144 but its all a matter of taste. Part of the appeal of the picture frame books is that the solid border on the spine makes them impossible to find in high grade regardless of the color. Similar to why SA black covers like ASM 28, Subby 8 and FF 112 have an appeal over and above the issue itself. The Cat 1 has all that except the bottom edge. I hadn't seen that Cap before its a nice issue.

That's not it for me at all, and I just like that period in comics. It just happens they have "picture frame" covers, many of which are nice to look at, but it was the main impetus for the Bronze Age we know and love.

 

That's the part that attracts me, and if Marvel had produced "picture frame" books in 1968 or 1977, I wouldn't give a rat's hass, no matter how hard they would be in HG.
