Just go to amazon and search for “DC poster portfolio” and they’ll all show up in the search results.

I got the Lau one and was blown away how good it is for ~$20. I'm getting the Middleton and Cho ones and probably Lee.

I hope for a Conner, Booth, Frison, Dodson, Finch, Fabok, Campbell, and more.

I absolutely love this one. Simple, just a few brush strokes and here is Batgirl.

Is his left foot on a broken bar stool? I guess the new Logan PF's bar room brawl is with Juggs.

I tend to think that when a work is remarkably done, it doesn’t need a framework - especially a big one- to showcase it. A simple glass for protection can be enough.
Anyway, an artist rarely paint his work in a frame.
If everyone thinks a work looks better when surrounded by a frame, maybe the artist could paint himself a fake frame around his work? A win/win situation.

Sorry I didn’t clarify , I was particularly talking about the glass/acrylic cover. Store bought frames cause the quality of the print to dim. The first print I bought in the tube I framed in a michaels frame it was about 39.99 it was the better quality one. When I hung it up next to the print I had framed from sideshow it didn’t even compare. It look just like a $20 poster.
So I have these
1 in a basic frame
3 in sideshow frames
And 4 in custom framing from michaels with uv/museum glass.
Canvas

Custom frame is phenomal barely any glare at all.
Sideshow is really good but a fair amount of glare still.
The basic framing I can barely see the print with the light bouncing off of it so placement is key. And it is just dull.

The canvas is def the best handown of course.

they would have paired better if the danger room debris on juggy's arm was optional...

I just got my first Canvas print and i'm trying to figure out how to display it. I might get it stretched and then do a thin border around it.

Thanks for the advice, but good quality framing cost more then $300 here in LA, I am really regret getting frame one by sideshow now

I know I'm gonna get flamed but I got really good framing at Michael's. I thought the materials and options were just fine for art prints. OG art you might want to go a step above Michael's.
