Black and White Wednesday: Marvel-ous Frontispieces

Some of the best comicbook art you'll ever see can be found on the inside front covers (aka frontispieces or interior covers) of Marvel's black and white mags of the mid-to-late 1970s. Early into their magazine-publishing foray, Marvel dropped the ads from their interior covers and began running either editorials, contents pages, or frontispieces in their place. I think the interior covers gave the mags a rather classy look, and those pen-and-ink pics were often more awe-inspiring than the exterior covers. For budding young pros like Marshall Rogers, Mike Zeck, and Tim Conrad, these interior cover masterworks were sometimes a way of getting into Marvel's "front door". Here's a sampling of some of the aforementioned faves, along with pieces by more established Marvel madmen. Can you name who did what, Groove-ophile?

There's plenty more where that came from! If you wanna see 'em, all ya have t'do is ask!
