Got a comic room??? Showcase it here! 49 49

Just wondering, are the slabs at the bottom able to handle the weight of all those slabs on top? I know the slabs can get pretty heavy.

 

I think so. But probably twice as many would risk cracking the case(s) on the bottom.

 

 

That is, simply put, the nicest display I've seen.

 

I'd copy it in a heartbeat - but I'm wondering about the difficulty pulling out slabs from near the bottom of a pile and then putting it back in. I guess you'd have to take out the slabs above in chunks to reach the one at the bottom.

 

I've been trying to implement a system that will allow me to flick through the covers with ease, but still maintain organisation. But while it has that functionality, it doesn't look as schmick as that!

 

Put it sideways like he did on the top shelves.

 

Sideways would be the way to go. I really need another shelf on both sides and then I can move the others up and go sideways with the whole lot. Though I've heard that side-settling books can loosen the staples...not sure if that's true or not.

I'd wondered if they'd "move" inside the shell over time.... gravity and stuff.

WhiskeyMan - I love your space! The all white in the nice, bright room really pops and the glass door display cases look awesome. And I'm a big fan of Mighty Muggs too!

That Spidey jersey for sale?

I once brought a stack of cgc books and I noticed that each of them had exact same dot sized chip/dent (scratch) in the exact same spots. (right by the seals on the bottom fc) Have you or anyone else ever experienced that?

Hey everyone - I've been lurking for many years here, but this is my very first postI

 

I really love this thread so I thought that it was time to post mine before it's all gone.

We are moving from our apartment in NYC to a new place in San Fran soon, so I wanted to show everyone my comic room - or maybe it's more of a comic/geek/gamer apartment.

I hope that you enjoy the mix of art, comics, games and all around nerdiness.

 

Here is the left corner of the living room with my Turtles 1 9.6, Hulk 181 9.4, X-Men 94 9.4 and my stack of slabs. I have a run of X-Men from 94-544 with 94 to 140 on the shelf. The painting is by Mark Bodnar who does some great stuff. This one is a joystick and a button arguing about something or other - apparently involving a shotgun.

 

 

These are some of my favorite books that I have sitting in that bookshelf.

 

 

The slabs.

 

 

This is the center of the living room with the TV, video game consoles and my tube amps.

 

 

Here is the right side of the living room with my "NapoleanTrooper" oil painting above the fireplace. For reference it's about 5' by 4'.

 

 

Above the stairs I have my three CGC babies. AF 15 7.0, Hulk 1 7.0 and TOS 39 7.0. All from Gator - thanks! I had the custom frames done at a local frame store with UV glass.

 

 

Here is an image from the couch in the living room looking back:

 

 

Leah and I have a thing for Domos. Here they are demanding food.

 

 

In my bedroom I have a few pieces. This painting is a mashup of an old Apollo photograph with Kirk, Spock and Scotty. It's about 7 feet tall and sits to the left of the bed.

 

 

Above the bed is a repro of an old Eric Stanton cartoon with new dialogue:

 

 

On the book shelves I have some vintage game consoles as well as some Michael Lau figures, plus the first and only Nintendo GBA game I directed:

 

 

Downstairs is my home office / workshop / WoW area. On the far left you can see the original Star Wars advance mylar with the old logo. The strange brown thing on the stairs is our bulldog.

 

 

Here is a detail of the Daft Punk painting.

 

 

This is a detail of our insane bulldog aka "Elwynn" - bonus points if you get the origin of name

 

 

I collect video game systems as well. This is a photo of me standing with my collection in the entrance to my old office. There are close to 140 systems in the collection. They are all complete (other than the most modern ones which are probably plugged in somewhere).

 

 

I have one of the Nintendo World Championship gold carts. Someday I'll get it framed.

 

 

A couple of photos from my parent's house.

 

I went back and re-bagged a ton of books last christmas and replaced a bunch of decrepit boxes.

 

 

This is my closet at the patent's house. About eight long-boxes and tons of pretty much worthless mid-90s Star Wars figures.

 

 

I was nostalgic one night and rummaged through the boxes pulling a smathering of my favorite books from them. I bet you can tell how old I am by the books:

 

 

And here is a picture that my parents have hanging of me from when I was in fourth grade. Many fond memories of reading and collecting.

 

 

Thanks - hope you enjoy

 

-- James and Leah

 

 

 

Who does your paintings? Awesome!

 

 

Wow. Nearly book for book those were my favorite 'moderns' as well.

I don't have a comic room per se, but I do have a built-in area my wife calls Nerdvana.

[Silver Surfer]

My god that is awesome. If I ever own that many quality slabs, I would have to tell the wife that I got most of them really cheap at a yard sale...

The Creepy is a 9.0. from Harlan's collection. The cover art goes with his story, Rock God, which is inside.

Long time boards stalker, there are some really great rooms here. I recently acquired a room to have as my comic room These are the before pics. Painting, storage and display are pretty high on the to do list. I hope to have the room complete in the next few weeks, so I will update the look as I go.
