Can Someone Explain Wording on Label ? 1 1

[TegrityComics]

Hi All,

Can someone please shed some light on this wording on a label, It's on Green Hornet #2 from Gold Key. Did they leave out spacing or it doesn't belong at all?  It says Frontispiece. I noticed it on all graded books.

Thanks

Frontispiece is a word that, in the context of a comic book, means the inside front cover.  The notation is just telling you that the book was printed with a pinup inside the front cover, and another one on the back cover.

Thank you - I've been collecting for a long time and didn't know that one!
