Paul Kupperberg-migration Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 So many great rooms and ways to show off the funny books! This WAS my room/office in Stamford CT before we sold the house. Nowadays, not so grand... And then, upstairs, my son's bedroom had this, a being born gift (1996), courtesy of Uncle John Byrne: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one time (many years ago), I bought anything and everything he worked on and I couldn't imagine having him come over and paint superheros on my kids walls. Very nice.

Love those kids room paintings! Sad to think that they probably got painted over by the new owners if that was his old home! Here's hoping they didn't!

MultiSig Mike Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Apologies if this was asked before, but what lighting is best used for these rooms? We all know that UV is bad and can cause fading. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PT Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 None, you should never use any lighting, curtains should always be closed with blinds, you should wander round in the dark and just imagine what your comics look like Personally, mine are in the spare room which is rarely used apart form me, I just use standard lighting and keep the curtains closed to avoid any direct sunlight when I am not in there. I think reference has been made previously to that amount of time that books spend on walls at conventions without too much issue. I am sure someone with a better answer will be along shortly... P.

Waylander Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) Books should be stored in a dark environment (if possible). Incandescent lighting (regular bulbs) should be used and windows should be covered to minimize direct sunlight. Fluorescent bulbs emit stronger UV rays and will degrade comics faster than regular incandescent lighting.

Incandescent lighting (regular bulbs) should be used and windows should be covered to minimize direct sunlight. Fluorescent bulbs emit stronger UV rays and will degrade comics faster than regular incandescent lighting. What about LEDs? This is from an art displaying website: Types of Light LED Lights: LED lights are best for showcasing valuable artwork. They don’t give off heat, do not emit damaging ultraviolet rays or infrared light. LEDs cost more upfront, but they have a long lifespan and are energy efficient. Incandescent Lights: Standard incandescent light bulbs create a warm color that brings out the yellows and reds in art while flattering the blues and greens. Halogen Lights: Halogens cast the purest white light, making them ideal for illuminating most art. They do generate a lot of heat, however, and must be placed far enough away that the heat doesn't affect the artwork. If you are going to use halogen, consider placing a UV filter over the bulb. Fluorescent Lights: Fluorescent lighting distorts the color of artwork, and the high level of ultraviolet rays emitted by fluorescent lights damages works of art by causing accelerated fading. Fluorescents are not recommended for lighting artwork. Avoid putting artwork in direct sunlight, the ultraviolet rays can cause fading and discoloration.
