Framing comic pages

I bought two Scott Pilgrim pages at Comic Con and I can't find frames to fit them. Short of commissioning expensive custom-made frames online, which is kind of a last resort. The pages each measure 9 1/2 x 14.

Anybody have any experience/advice?

I totally clicked here thinking this was about something totally different, but...

In my limited experience, the odd size of comic pages allows jackasses at frame places to bank. Outside chance a place like Michael's or Hobby Lobby can accommodate cheaply.

I'm not sure how much they'll charge you, but my company deals with DNG Custom Framing in Tarzana for all the artwork we sell.

I've found them to be pretty reasonable, though.

I don't know LA framing, but in Portland there was a store where you could DIY it. I'd bet there's something like that around here.

How much does O'Malley charge per page, Slater?

It varied. Static conversation scenes were about $200, while the action stuff tended to cost about a hundred bucks more. I got both pages of Book Four's Zelda dream sequence (with the Cheat Code Gnome) for $450 because he was cool enough to knock $50 off the price.

You know how I know you're gay?
You have framed comic book pages hanging on your wall.

Buy a frame slightly bigger, and mat it yourself (mat board, a straight edge, and an exacto knife). Cheap.
