I love how this project makes a wall feel alive. It’s like living inside the comic itself, where every panel carries its own memory.
You don’t need to choose just one hero, this way, you celebrate them all together, side by side. It’s a personal gallery that keeps evolving every time you add another page.
Materials Needed
- 1 large canvas or sturdy foam board (24”×36” or larger)
- 20-30 comic book pages (mix of covers and action panels)
- Scissors or craft knife
- Mod Podge (16 oz, matte or glossy depending on finish preference)
- 2–3 foam brushes (1” wide)
- Clear acrylic spray sealer
- Optional: simple black frame
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Choose your base. A foam board or stretched canvas works best because it’s lightweight yet durable.
Step 2: Sort through your comic pages and pick a balance of big, dramatic panels and smaller action shots.
Then lay them out loosely on the board first to see how they flow together.
Step 3: Apply a thin coat of Mod Podge directly to the back of each page before pressing it onto the surface. Smooth from the center outward to avoid wrinkles.
Step 4: Overlap edges slightly so there are no gaps. Don’t worry about perfect alignment, the layering effect adds depth and energy.
Step 5: Once the board is fully covered, brush a generous coat of Mod Podge over the entire surface. Let it dry for 30–40 minutes, then repeat with a second coat.
Step 6: For long-term durability, seal with a light coat of clear acrylic spray.
If you want a gallery-style finish, slip the board into a thin black frame before hanging.
Tips:
I’ve noticed that mixing vintage pages with modern prints creates a striking contrast, it’s like past and present comics colliding on your wall.
