Another option, depending on how much effort you want to put into framing the pieces, is Michaels. No, not their custom framing department but they sell "make-a-frames" that are simple but not cheap looking. You can get any size up to 42" and they come in black or chrome and maybe some others. The trick is to wait for a 40% or 50% coupon and then make your purchase. You can get the glass from a variety of places and if you decide to have a mat made you can just put it all together. I don't think there are any pre-cut mats that will fit original pages but if you have an 11 x 14 or something like that there should be.
All of this is assuming you want to take the time and effort to put it together yourself.

The frames from the Frame It Again Sam site Fred posted a link to are top notch. I ordered one for a signed print by George Perez that I got off eBay and plan on ordering a couple more frames from him when I can afford it (money is still tight right now, unfortunately).
The `glass' is plexiglass and each frame comes with a clear protective bag (blocks UV) that the artwork slides into before you put it in the frame, and its very easy to change the picture if you decide to move the art to another frame or store your art in a portfolio or something and like to switch out every once in a while.

Sorry William. Have to ask another question about how people keep their art.
Just wondering what do people do with sketches and smaller items. I have a few sketches on notecards. What is the best place to store them?

Wilson Mui,
Nice Yeates!
(Edited to add: Which I guess has just been removed due to nudity...)
William Roberge,
I'm trying to hold off on posting new acquisitions until I have them in my possession, but just for you, here's the Golden Age Atom vs. the Scorpion by Ron Frenz:

Oh, and for anyone opting for a portfolio book that's looking to obtain a Fred Hembeck cover recreation (or several), stick with 14x18. The man uses some big paper...

The Scorpion just can't seem to catch a break. Thanks for the heads up
on the portfolio, I will be putting in an order with Mr. Hembeck in the
near future. Who do you have left for your Spider-Man's rogues
gallery/JSA?
Dave.

That Scorpion versus the Atom is a great pairing--looks great!
