    Hey guys, I got a copy of Iron Man #1 and would like to have it framed in my room, but don't want to damage it as it's much older than me! I was wondering if there's any safe way to frame a comic book?

    Cheers

    If you're really planning on having it survive try taking it to your local art framers.

    You'll pay quite a bit but you can get UV proof glass that will prevent the cover from fading over the years.

    They will also probably be able to advise you on how to preserve it.

    You need to make sure any backing board is acid free, or keep the comic in a mylar sleeve.
