As JB said earlier, artists could always count on pages 2-3 being available for a double page splash. When Jack Kirby made the move to DC, he started doing double splashes on every page 2-3, and he kept this tactic when he returned to Marvel. His DC double splashes were often massive battles on an epic scale for the Fourth World wars, but the example below is from The Demon #1.

Mike Grell did a 2-page spread every issue of THE WARLORD, and I love those to this day. Sure, it's only "one panel," but, boy, did it set the mood for everything that came after!

Stan and Jack integrate the Army a few years before it actually happened. ;-)
