That 14 kind of reminds me of a few issues around 130-140. Not really picture frame covers in the true sense because of the lack of left and right borders. But the artwork basically stops about 3/4 of the way up the cover. I'm far from a picture frame expert, but some people focus their collection around them, so maybe they could add some insight about these 'anomalies'.

 

Here's an example...

It's a cover design for bronze age Marvels, starting when the picture frame design was dropped in January, 1973 cover issues, and continuing off and on for a half year or so.

The last picture frame FF was 129.  Issues 130,131,133,135,136 and 140 used covers with the top third separated from the art with a bar.
