    IDW Artist Editions and their boxes

    in Original Comic Art

    Easier to store, but impossible to access.  These books are so heavy, that I would never bother trying to pull out anything past the first 4 or 5 books in these stacks, which would make owning them pointless.  At least for me but your mileage may vary.

    I had them vertical but the shelves filled so I went horizontal. If I can squeeze another reinforced shelf into the closet I'll go vertical again. Used 2" x 6" boards and it's been rock steady.

    I am the Artist's Edition Index and go through these quite frequently, updating reviews and answering questions. Take a small stack down, enjoy them, move them to the bottom. The labels on the boxes are crucial.

    Nice mainstream review of the Byrne X-Men Artifact Edition

    Its more different opinions of what the Claremont/Byrne run meant to the comic community. The only information about the book is that it features art from every issue of his run except for one book. I would have liked if it mentioned how many pages were featured from each issue but overall this book must be a great one! A definite must have for Byrne fans!

    I run the Artist's Edition Index; thanks for the recommendations and kind words.

    I post a monthly look at eBay sales of out of print Artist's Editions; the latest went up today. https://aeindex.org/sales-solicits/artists-edition-out-of-print-sales-january-2018/

    The variant covers and signed editions get the best resale, followed by the early out of print volumes. Otherwise you can, usually, get close to your money back.
