.25 cent PictureFrame issues

Between November 1971 and March 1972, Marvel Comics experimented with their titles by releasing .25 cent issues. By today's standards this seems very inexpensive, however comic books at the time only cost .15 cents. So a ten cent jump seemed excessive. Marvel eventually only raised the cover price by five cents to .20 cent issues.

Another change Marvel made was the introduction of the Marvel Comics bar across the top of their comics, which has become a mainstay for most of the 1970s to 1980s.
