When auto generating past issues, we can't always be automatically sure of imagery that allows for a large first section. We should figure out what this looks like. I tossed a quick 65px of margin, but I'm not sure that's the right answer:

I like the gray bar solution for older issues. It fits with the overall look, and we can add feature images for issues on a rolling basis. I wonder if we can auto-generate thumbnails from story images? If not, I think we should have the titles span the whole box, since it seems like something is missing if no thumb. No subtitles are fine with me.
