I don't have most recent pics and some of the arts have moved to a different wall, but here's the old set up:

Many years ago I acquired a 1/2 Superman strips from 1942, ya someone tore the original in half (other half in a landfill for over 70 years. I wanted to frame it with a print of the other half of the strip. Took years but I got a good hires scans of the printed strip. I cleaned it up and printed it on bristol. Then framed it with the original floating above the printed half (easy just have a thick matte in between the two.

Good solution Brian!

 

I've got a similar situation with a great 40s daily by Montana with sweater-puppies Betty, except it was cut (and probably mailed to a collector way back when). Always hoped I'd see the other half somewhere, as it may not be lost. Your solve is a good fix, too nice to have buried in a portfolio.

All professionally framed using acid free materials and piano black hardwood (for the frame).

 

Don't think my wife will appreciate more framed art, so I might need to find another way of storing and displaying pieces... :ohnoez:
