Splash page

A splash page is a full page drawing in a comic book. Also referred to as a "splash". Typically, a splash page is used as the first page of a story, and includes the title and credits. Splashes that are not the first page of a story are called interior splash pages. Interior splashes may, or may not include titles and/or credits. A panel that is larger than others on the page is called a splash panel. A splash that appears across two pages of a comic book is called a two-page spread.
