This is my old space now a little more decongested Heading upstairs: Main comic area from the stairs Looking from the back wall towards the stairs Going down the stairs displays Side wall Center piece Side shelf / work area Back wall Coming out of the room this is the wall right outside to the left of the door entering the upstairs family room Coming out of the room this is the far wall of the upstairs family room Door from the family room to hall This is to the right of the door And the last display is in our fireplace room downstairs I figure if I am going to spend my money on this stuff I want to enjoy it!!!

Did a recent land / room grab and acquired another room for my comics, without relinquishing my old space! Here is a tour of the new space: Entering To the right To the left From the far right looking towards the left From the far left looking towards the right Display wall (not sure if IKEA still makes this anymore but it is perfect - forgot the name too!) Comic tomb and Granite the munchkin cat! Top of the Comic Tombs

Peter Rabbit Easter Parade Avon 1952 Does anyone have a copy of this book and if so please share the scan!

Nice room! I was wondering about the blue/gray boxes on the credenza where did you get them and do they fit two rows of books?

You mean dis one? that's one of the site's. The one I was looking for the upper part of the cabinet can be use to show statues http://www.geek-design.net/zencart2/

Thanks for the compliments! As we get two plus feet of snow I am definitely dreaming of the summer and ryding my syder again!

Not all this week but last few weeks and most are on display on the Christmas wall 2012 link: Christmas Wall 2012 ENJOY! •

Merry Christmas to everyone. I wanted to share my Christmas 2012 display. I added some new books, comic art and hope that the display adds to the Christmas spirit of joy, hope and giving! God Bless and a Merry Christmas to all!! Bernard The side wall coming down the stairs before Christmas The side wall coming down the stairs after Christmas (thanks to my not so secret santa - Zeman!) Front wall coming down the stairs top to bottom Comic Art on the front wall at the Bottom of the stairs Comic Art on the other side wall heading up the stairs from the office , The "overhead" wall leaving the Comic Loft and heading into the office This is the wall in the office as you head towards the Comic Loft stairs This is on the same wall after you leave the office and enter the living room. This is the upstairs Christmas tree with the Christmas books behind and to the side. ( the upstairs living room is just outside the office area) Oh yeah almost forgot ComicDoc's alter ego is now SpyderDoc as this is my new Sleigh (few months old - pictures at Hampton Beach NH a few weeks ago!)

Has your cabinet arrived yet?

Nice covers! I am always looking for holiday covers with Archie etc. Any extras?

Man I know thats from a post a long long time ago - nice to see Captain Britain's! I'm English so wahey! The originals are still around for 10 -20 quid - some with mask still inside etc as are the Knights of Pendragon follow-ups (with Union Jack). I preferred the original ones anyway, even if the "Bad Guys" were total Gash! Nice pics. (thumbs u Thanks was my favorite books from my original collection. I have a complete run and the super spiderman run. I am not much a fan of the new CB.

Wow just wow! Love the ceiling detail too.

I have been thinking of binding my books that I want to keep. I have double copies of most sets and was thinking of doing them so that they are more accessible and promote reading. As far as getting a "factory made" HC or Essentials etc. they just do not have the aesthetic feel or nostalgic value to me as the original books. I do not like the paper, printing, lack of color (Essentials) or lack of ads that add to the value of the books IMHO. I also don't like that covers are removed or ads from bound books and I would bind the books as a whole unit without removing anything. I have been in discussions with one bindery here in MA to do this. The problem is he does not do the volume to have all the graphics, stamps and imprints so I am limited on choices. Any ideas on where I could get some to have him use on my books? What grade would you or Kenner recommend as the best for binding??

Thanks, ComicDoc. I might be tempted to part with those Captain Britain volumes. Make me an offer, Sir It seems that binding comics doesnt make their value go down at all (actually seems to go up). PM me with an idea of what you would part with them for also let me know what shipping would be.

Your books look great! Love the Captain Britain volumes! Let me know if you ever want to part with them By the way how do evaluate the value of bound books? Does the value go down dramaticly?

which drawer is the "regular sized" one? I cant see a difference between the three. Top drawer is regular size. If I buy again I would get all CGC size that way all the books with and without encapsulation would fit.

The one I purchased are the "City" Cube, which are wider but narrower so that it fit behind my door. Their website goes over the dimensions and I found Adam very easy to work with. Even switch to water based poly, I sent him a sheet from a conservation site that recommended it for added protection of the comics from the off gassing. Of course oak is one of the worse offenders but it is what I wanted, so hopefully I mitigated some of the detrimental effects with the water based poly.
