how do you store your comics?
Post here with pictures if you can. I am looking into a new system. I am thinking magazine files on a book shelf with a cool 'spine' glued on the front, the idea to make them look similar to a TPB and making them much easier to get to. Right now I have TPB's/hardcovers on a shelf and monthly's bagged/boarded and stored in short boxes in my bedroom. There is about 17 boxes stacked 4 high, and my wife thinks they are pretty ugly. They are sorted by title, the majority being bat-titles (about 20 years worth), then a few old runs like Scout, The Invisibles. There is also the 'Vertigo' box. In the living room I have an old neat looking fruit crate on a book shelf with current stuff. It can hold about 200. So what are you guys doing with yours? Any suggestions that are cheap and attractive? Thanks. -R

I'm not sure this is the right forum, but I just kept mine in the sleeves and stuck them in a long box.

umm they used to be strewn around my room, toilet, lounge kitchen.

Then I got married.

Now they all live in no particular order in boxes in the closet of my spare room with my trades stacked nicely in a bookshelf in the same spare room.

I like to think my comics have their own room now

I have each locked in an adamantium case which is surrounded by dimensional and absorption shielding, The case is also equipped with a full sensor array and will activate temporal teleportation, phasing and cloaking technology, if a 20 foot perimeter is breached which will move the collection to a new point in time and space every picosecond. It is also equipped with a self replicator that will automatically replicate each comic and its containment unit should it somehow be damaged or destroyed.

Only I have the master codes and recall device which deactives all the safeguards and teleports the collection to me on command.

They all live together my big green box.

I just put all the collected arcs in a sleeve or two and organize them with the TPB's on my comic bookshelf.

On my hard drive, or my book shelf.

Little Foot · 10-07-2009, 09:36 PM

how do y'all store on the shelf, with bookends, folders? I like to keep my spine straight, i am a bit anal, but i spend too much money not to take of them.

Really glad I wasn't the first person to think that.

Same here! And with the book shelf thing. Don't really buy issues. -_-

Wavemaninawe · 10-08-2009, 02:08 PM

My printed issues were all stolen. 3 whole cardboard boxes of them.

Now I have a Frank Miller collection and some miscellaneous latter-day Daredevil on an external hard drive. Come to think of it... I still haven't read half of that stuff.

Surtur · 10-08-2009, 02:28 PM

Mostly on my hard drive. Have a stack of some random comics somewhere, they probably aren't in very good condition by now.

Kill cujo · 10-08-2009, 03:02 PM

They're Somewhere.

Nik Hasta · 10-08-2009, 03:06 PM

I only have TPBs.

They are at present in my room in the following places; on a shelf neatly stacked, on top of my chest of drawers, on the floor in a pile, at various friends houses who I have leant them to and in a some plastic bags also located on the floor.

All my manga and light novels are segregated by titles in my bookcase. Original Japanese copies at the top, followed by Mandarin in the middle, then English at the bottom.

Of course, the idea is that the most valuable ones are at the top since the top is generally the cleanest shelf.
