I used to draw Ultron-6 all the time when I was a kid. I was quite taken with his look.

I know we discussed this years ago and everyone disagreed with me, but I still feel like "splash page" means not just any full page single panel, but also the intro to that issue's story, usually including the title and credits. Shouldn't a "splash" page include water in some way, shape or form? If that isn't a cue... (Non-splash page required for context)

I'm in the camp of any full page panel is a splash. How else could we have so many great Kirby double splash pages if it were only the title page? or Steranko? I have never heard these referred to as anything but double splash pages.

double-page spreads, or something like that, is the way I remember hearing them called. Next time I get deep into re-reading a lot of 60s and 70s comics I'll try to keep an eye out for this when I read the letters pages. Could be just a weird personal quirk of mine, since no one seems to agree with me.

I love that John Buscema poster, remember seeing it in ads or promotions in many a Marvel comic of the early 70s, I think it would have been? It makes me wish all my favourite artists had done something similar, a big picture of all or many of the characters they had drawn.

Speaking of any full page being a splash, how about this two-pager by George Perez?

Classic art by Jack Kirby from Devil Dinosaur #4 (July, 1978).

Man oh man oh man.Just look at how Kirby and Perez fill out a page and manage to make it exciting, interesting and fun so that your pulled into the page while your eyes are roaming the page and never let down. That is how and what a GREAT splash page should do.

A good example of effectively using negative space. Every square inch of an image doesn't always need to be filled.
