Why Frame Your Comic Books?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Protection Against Damage:<\/strong> Framing comic books provides a protective barrier against dust, moisture, and UV light, which can degrade comic books over time. Acid-free mats and UV-protective covers are essential for maintaining your collectibles’ colors and quality.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Display Your Collection:<\/strong> Comic books often feature stunning cover art. Framing transforms these collectibles into visual art pieces, making them an eye-catching and central part of your decor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Maintain Value:<\/strong> Framed comic books, especially if done professionally, are better preserved and may retain or increase in value, crucial for rare or graded editions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Choosing Matting for Comic Books<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Standard Matting:<\/strong> A single mat board in a neutral or bold color can complement the comic\u2019s cover without overpowering it. For instance, white or black mats provide a classic look.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Double Matting:<\/strong> Double mats create even more depth and emphasize the artwork by bringing out more pops of color. Choose an inner mat color that picks up a shade from the comic cover, paired with a neutral outer mat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Acid-Free Materials:<\/strong> Always use acid-free or archival-quality mats to avoid discoloration and damage over time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      At Frame It Easy we offer a wide selection of over 70 matboard options including more than 50 colors (shades ranging from green and blue to hot pink, yellow, red, and beyond!), metallics, patterns, plus premium quality conservation options, thicker plys, and 100% cotton museum-quality matting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
