Inexpensive Wallpaper

I found these old comic books at a thrift shop for only 50 cents each!
I absolutely adore the illustrations so I cut out the most colorful pages and covered one of my walls.
It makes pretty fun wallpaper!

    You are so creative! You should invite 12 year old boys over for lunch.

    A cool idea but I think it might actually make my comic-collecting husband cry... for the torn pages and their pain... hahaha!

    I made Space Invaders on my wall and I really hate it :D The colors are ugly and all looks weird.
