What to do with my Comic collection

[Artboy99]

Comics...

I put them away in bags with boards into long boxes and stash them away in the cool dark store room hoping to never bother them for 20 years. Yet...

I find that I can't help but take them out of the store room and open the boxes and pull random issues out to fawn over them, caress them and name them George!

Do I need help?

Or am I just a *normal* comic lover?

...pretty normal,...just don't spread them out all over the floor and play twister with them, ..trust me it's a bad idea.....but definitely take them out and talk to the a little,...let them know how happy they make you feel,......ohhh jeezus,..I think my Ativan is kicking in.....

Sounds like your as sane as everyone else here.

 

Though that might not be a good thing after all.

"Burn them! Burn them ALL!"

you're just like the rest of us

 

i find it depressing that i'm sticking more and more of my stuff in a storage room (no more space in the house, especially with all my wife's [#@$%!!!], she keeps on taking over closet after closet, it's killing me) aside from what that costs me every month, i can't play with them. i keep the expensive stuff at home, but more and more of my bronze age and newer as well as silver age readers are going to the storage room.

 

one of these days i'll own a home with some spare bedrooms and one of them can be my hobby room and i can have all of my little friends there with me and play with them.

 

could it be the surge in mcmansions is really about guys' needs to have a separate room for their comics?

It's called a 'man-cave' and every man needs one!

I'm working on mine this year. My wife is even building some cabinets to store my comics (chromium-style).

How'd you manage that?

Now I don't have to.

 

My comics are spread out over two bedrooms so she wants to get my comics organized. She found a design she likes and is going to make some cabinets (with some help from her father) for my birthday this month.

This is exactly why I started getting into original art. Because you can frame it, put it on the wall, and appreciate it any time. I love my comics. I don't love having to store them in stacks of boxes in a closet and risk a hernia and disk rupture every time I want to get them out and look at them! But nobody said love was easy....

 

PS: Chromium's storage system ROCKS

Uh, yes, most comic lovers like to read their comics. Otherwise, you wouldn't love comics (unless I'm missing something). Like you had to ask?

[Artboy99]

Ok, I was just curious.

If you DIDN'T do that we'd be worried. Well, actually, the "George" part is a bit disturbing but then again...

Thats a nice little design there. I could line the walls with those things, hell, put em in the living room, no one would know the difference. =)

Very pretty chest of drawers.

Hrmm, I wonder if my father is still a functional carpenter.

I would love to have something like that.

Its a hell of a lot more attrative than three of these clogging up your spare bedroom.

Love the Bugs B. reference.... or is that from Grapes of wrath?

 

And no worries..it is good to hear you take your comics out for some "yard time".
