Best Way to Display Comics

[shudson970]

I've got a small comic book collection that I would like to hang up in the walls of my home office. I have used thumbtacks and the plastic protectors to hang them before, but it looks kinda cheap. I was wondering if anyone had any tips?:D

A few months back, my mom gave me a couple pictures frames that happened to be the size of a standard comic book. They look very nice.

What comics would you deem worthy of hanging on your wall?

I always just randomly pick books and put them up on my wall!

Go to Target or other local discount store or office supply store. You should be able to find some cheap plastic frames designed for 8 x 10 pictues or 8 1/2 x 11 certificates for a couple of bucks each. Modern comics are 7 x 10, so they tend to fit the picture frames pretty well.

I've on occasion bought nice looking comics from quarter bins and cut off the cover to frame and hang in my classroom. Splash panels work well for this also.

I would lacquer them right into the wall itself. Heavy on the lacquer to hold it up.

Barring that, it looks like a good reason to find slabs like perspex you could swap the comics in and out of. And behind that, use that glue that isn't really glue that sticks but pulls off with a slide.

Yes, yes, listen to The Sleeper

You could go with the way that I display them; I have piles of them throughout my house with a few actually in long boxes.
