What Are The Best Frames for Framing Orig. Comic Art and Sketches

I have a few pieces of original TMNT art and a couple of comic pages, and I'm looking to frame them.

Is there a website/store that you would recommend?
-I've got them in floating frames from Michael's

Did you use UV, UVB or UVA protective frames
-I would like to use these to protect it from the sunlight. I have a lot of windows in my livingroom

Did you use acid free paper to mat it?
-Sounds like a good idea

Anything I'm missing?

Thanks in advance.

My sister works here and have given me some of these format frames, they're minimal. I use them for artwork, but they might suite you well. The glass just pops out. And they're thick.

Forgot to mention they're sold in stores like Walmart, Target and Michaels. Not sure about these specifically, but thats usually where the companies products end up. Hope I helped.

Thanks dude.

I can't see anywhere on the site about whether or not they're UV protective or have acid free matting material.

Thinking I might contact them though.
