Really makes my room full of posed action figures look like a kids room, but if I haven't grown up by now why bother, right? Always love to see X-Men heavy collections! Also can I just say with this whole corona virus work from home deal, doing work from the desk in my comic room is just way more enjoyable than going to an office. I don't know that I'm any more productive but just being surrounded by color keeps me more awake if nothing else. I’m retired from working for the “man” now. I still do a lot of freelance graphic design from my home office which is my junk room. A lot better to work barefoot in a T-shirt and it makes for a lot more fun on those zoom conferences...

Orderly, clean. Especially the bookshelf with the omnibus books. Very nice! Thanks @DocHoppus182. Given my limited shelf space, I do have think hard before buying any new omnibus and how it’s going to look on my shelf. Very well done it doesn't have carpet, so imo you're lucky! As I find that the hardest to clean in my room. You did inspire me to do a little touch up in my comic room AND I'm not nearly as clean, it's pretty rugged even! Put up lights in my glass cabinet with duct tape and hung my TMNT poster that I bought for my brother way back in '89-'90 when he was 3 to celebrate him being my born and someone to enjoy Saturday morning cartoons with I'll update with a pic in a sec!

Being surrounded by art and comics does help with mood when I’m stressed drafting legal briefs. Sadly, I’m still missing two of the main X-Men keys and those are only going up in price every day. I’ve been itching to buy a statue or action figure like the Samurai Star Wars figures as well. But I know I won’t be able to stop at one. So I’ve resisted opening the floodgates on the statue/action figure front so far. Otherwise it’ll become yet another thing I have to spend money on, along with comics, video games and original art.

Had to rearrange the shelves to make room for new additions, as I was out of room. Moved some and consolidated in other rooms to make space for the core collection. Lugging comic boxes around all day kind of sucks lol. Tired and glad it's done....comics can be a lot of work! Looking good. You're fairly new on the boards and I've seen you buy quite a few nice books here. How did you find this place and how do you feel about your purchases here so far?

Thanks @ADAMANTIUM But I have to admit, I did clean up a little before taking the pictures. Agree about carpets. I do like wooden floor. Cool statues by the way.

Only except, I don’t exactly have a comic room. I live in a studio apartment with limited space that has to triple up as my bedroom, living room and office space. So I’ve tried to incorporate my comic stuff in the room as economically as possible. Welcome to the comic corner / art gallery / library section of my studio. I keep my original art collection in this folder. I usually pull out the folder once every few weeks or so and stare at the art for hours at a time. If anyone is curious about the art, you can check out my comic art collection in the Comic Art Fans link below. https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerydetail.asp?gcat=121983 Here is a clearer shot of the bookshelf, if anyone is interested in seeing the books. Let’s now move over to my bar area, which also happens to be the annex to my gallery and library corner. Like most people I used to keep my single issue comics in comic boxes. But I grew to really hate the look of these cardboard boxes just lying around on the floor of my studio, especially when I had female company over. But then I saw my friend storing his vinyl collection on just regular book shelves and I figured I could do the same for my single issues. I keep my pricier comic books in toploaders or in the the Volstor boxes in the shelf. My humble collection of key comics. It’s mostly X-Men, with some Fantastic Four for good measure. My other X-Men keys. Finally, let me take you to the couch / living room section of my studio apartment. Like many people, I’m a gigantic fan of Jack Kirby. I can’t quite afford an original of Kirby art as yet. But I do have an Artist’s Edition from the period of Kirby’s career that I’m most drawn to. I leave that Artist’s Edition under the coffee table so that whenever anyone who comes over and asks who my favourite artist is, I can be like “BAM!” and pull this bad boy out. So far, no one has asked that. Thanks for checking out my humble room and collection. I love your space. Nicely contained and organized!
