Here is a popular custom style for collectors of comic art. On the left of the frame is the original comic art. On the right side of the frame is a copy of the comic. Holding the frame is the collector and the artist. Like all my frames, the art and the comic can be replaced at any time.

Typically, one of these frames is in the 36-38 United Inch size. To estimate your size, I'll use an example. Let's say you have an 11x17 original comic art page and a current comic that is 6 5/8" x 10 7/8". For the purpose of this example, I'm going to round up the comic to 7x11. To calculate the frame size, you need the total of the width plus the length of the item to be framed. If you were going to frame a piece of 11x17 art, the width plus length is 28 United Inches (UI). When more than one piece is framed together, you need to include the total width and length PLUS any margins between the pieces. For this piece we have a 2" margin between the pieces. The total width is 11 + 7 + 2, or 19". The vertical size will be the height of the largest piece which is 17". Adding them together we come up with 36 UI. If you cover a portion of the margins on the art, you would use only the size to be displayed.

Don't worry about the details. This is just to give you an idea of the size so you can estimate your costs. I will take care of all the details when you place your order.
