And In This Corner Part Deux


As Russ mentioned on the last post, Marvel's corner boxes mostly started out as headshots, and Jim Steranko inherited a corner box with a Kirby headshot of Nick Fury.  But this beauty full figure from Strange Tales 166 helped pump the premiere of Fury's own title.  Obviously, I really dug the black'n white corner box on Shield #4

And In This Corner

Onea the great innovations at Marvel was the corner box, and Gil Kane did an amazeballs job on Cap'n Marvel, I think.  I can't be sure, cause the tiny print'n is so poor.  If you know of a biggerbetterfasterstronger, please holla.  The second image is what I wish was the corner box
