The Final Marvel Issues On Twice Up?
1 1

9 posts in this topic

Just out of curiosity does anybody know the last issue in each 1960's Marvel series to be done on Twice Up boards?

 

I believe FF #67, which is a October 1967 cover date (published in July 1967) was the last book in that title to be done on Twice Up. Did every other series switch over in August 1967 (November 1967 cover date) or was it more haphazard?

For Marvel, it was covers that were dated July 1968 that went to standard/small size (there are some exceptions --ASM #62 and Captain America #103 each come to mind).

It looks like Thor switches over a month later than the FF with the last Twice Up being issue 146. I was able to figure this out with the new listing for a page from 147 on Anthony's being small and a page on Nostalgic Investments from 146 being large. 

The Thor #146 splash is drawn on Large board but the image is actually very close to standard size (with ample border surrounding) --good eye comparing the two issues but most likely Thor #145 is the last Large Art issue (for interiors).

This is good info for sure. Thanks for answering!

At least for ASM, while issue 62 was the last twice-up cover, the interiors were small art starting with issue 54 I believe.  Burkey would know for sure.

This is all correct above..

and weirdly enough ASM annual 5 has half the book drawn large art and half the book drawn small art by Lieber

(and anyone selling asm annual 5 pages as Romita layouts is blowing smoke)

 Some people back in the day got him to sign pages at shows because he was affiliated with spider-man back then.
