I've never noticed before how that Cap spread is broken into two panels, one representing his time during the war, the other focused on how he arrived in modern times.

Chad, I love the devastation in the Hulk DPS, but I gotta say, seeing
the character half off the page like that is really awkward. I can
appreciate what's trying to be accomplished. I just don't think it's very
successful. Is that Sal's work? It looks like his.

I dunno, it kinda works for me. It gives the creepy effect that he's walking off the page, almost crossing the line into 'reality'.
That beautiful Doom DPS is a good example of effective usage. It's the 'reveal' that the characters are tiny, so the giant Doom is incredibly startling.
It also includes a panel tilt, another comic tool that I love, carrying our eyes right (and making the reader feel off balance).

Consider this page, from FANTASTIC FOUR 5: 
Last year, via Jim Warden, I was able to obtain the original art, and yesterday I found myself looking at this page in the light of the discussion in this thread. I had previously posted the page, in another thread, pointing out the amazing amount of energy Kirby packed into those normal sized panels. Yesterday, looking at it again, I found myself thinking that current artists (including myself, once upon a time) would be inclined to render any of the last four panels as double page spreads, and most especially the last two.

iii That's a very, very nice page. Love the rhythm of the action between Johnny, Reed and Ben. Its almost like music.

Is it true that Kirby drew on larger than standard boards? With a 10 x 15 inch drawing space, a bunch of small panels must pose a challenge to get everything crammed in clearly!
I like how his action is designed to be easily 'read'.... great stuff.

Back then Kirby would have used the "Twice up" page sizes for his art.

The double-page spread that Chad posted from "Captain America" is kinda a different sort of spread. All the multiple images surrounding the central figure of Captain America could have been made into individual panels had JB added borders to some of them. It definitely advances the story more than one panel at a time (or two, as the case may be).

Now that you all know about THE HIGH WAYS, let me share an
example of me trying to use pages 2 and 3 to maximum advantage.
---
Those two pages look so good without color that I sort of wish THE
HIGH WAYS was going to be in B&W!
