AnthonyTheAbyss Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Wah??? You want to hang the deluxe X-Men #1 on the wall? That's a $3 comic. Hang it however you want to. Or am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okeydoke Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) Why be facetious when someone has a legit question?...Geeze guys. In all seriousness, that's an awesome Jim Lee cover and worthy of hanging on a wall. -First remove the cover from the book by bending the staples in the centerfold out, then carefully pulling the cover from the book. The monetary value of the book is much less than the artistic value so replacing the book is cheap. I see them all the time in .25 and .50 boxes. -I'd mount it on a board cut several inches larger than the cover on each side. Black or red board would look nice with this cover. -Position the cover centered on the board (use a ruler to be sure it's even). -While holding it in it's position bend one side of the cover over and add an adhesive to that back side of the cover. A very small amount of glue would work but I'd probably use double-sided tape. -Press the adhered side onto the board. Repeat for the center and other side of the cover, making sure the cover is still in a centered position on the board. -To hang the mounted cover on the wall I'd use adhesive wall hangers.

speedcake Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Remove cover carefully. Go to Ikea or look on amazon for a frame that fits it. Bingo dingo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F For Fake Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I also thought that they produced an actual poster-sized poster of this artwork, but I could be wrong? But as has been suggested, you can buy this book for a buck by the score, so I'd just find a nice one, carefully pop the staples, and pin it up!

Bandofhawk Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 This is what i go so far. Golden Age (1938 – 1956) 8″ x 10 1/2″ Silver Age (1956 – 1970) 7 1/4″ x 10 1/2″ same size i guess Bronze Age (1970 – 1985) Modern Age (1985 – Present Day) 7″ x 10 1/2″ For the bag size looking up board size's i'm unsure if i should use full or half boards i was thinking half boards should be more then enough considering ill be putting them in a short comic box. i was thinking of getting the BCW boards cause of the Acid Free+ Buffered with 3 Percent Calcium Carbonate.But i heard the BCW bags are a bit more on the cheaper Quality wise so i was also thinking of using E. Gerber products bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedcake Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Yer gonna put yer $1 comics in bags and boards that cost as much as the comic? I mean, go for it! But it might be a touch unnecessary. They do look and feel really great in mylar, though. So there's that There is a thread somewhere around these boards breaking down the different mylar size choices and how to correctly co co co combo breaker! the bags and board sizes together.

Bandofhawk Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 But what drives me to protect my even $1 comics is cause i love them all comics that i buy either i love the cover art ,or favorite hero or extremely messed up story line or every just inappropriate comics.
