So, I don't really have a comic "room."  More like a comic "closet," which isn't only for comics (at least yet).

We have a "James Bond" secret closet hidden behind a bookcase (not very hard to spot when you're looking for it.  It's not quite as snug as it used to be).  

Open it, and the inside currently looks like this:

The Thor is a Simonson convention sketch I personally got from him in 1985.  The game boxes are actually all empty (lol).  I've consolidated all my Dominion expansions into two carrying cases. But for some reason I can't bring myself to throw away the empty boxes.  Same for the Clank, Galaxy Trucker, and other expansions.

My very modest slab collection (but with room to expand!)

Most of these were ones I sent in for the (cancelled) Perez signing.  The others were gifts from the Christmas Exchange here on these boards.

The other side is basically all Magic the Gathering cards.

It's not especially well organized.  I haven't really thought too much about how to better organize things.  

The rest of my comics are actually in a completely different closet for the moment.  

Bonus cat pic!

 

Nice to hear the Christmas gift exchange is so generous! I'm curious which slab it was ?

Nice to see the trap door too

Nice selection and if you're thinking of more slabs, then more power to you. That's some clean looking rooms, even if you dont think they're "organized" congrats!

Wasn't one slab, it was three!  The three Thor's on the bottom.  @comicalgems was extremely generous.

I was definitely most stoked about the 9.8 Thor 339 (see: that Simonson sketch).  But I also checked the census on the 9.8 Marvel Spectacular 2 for fun.  Obviously that's not a high-in-demand book, but apparently there have only ever been 7 of them slabbed, and then only 2 in 9.8.

So, now I've got one of the 2 highest graded CGC of that book in existence, which tickles me no end, regardless of value.

Holiday gift giving is one of my favorite things on these boards.  Glad to see they're well loved.

This is my set up, a sorta workroom, sorta collectors hideaway room.  You can see a stack of books tilted sideways, which is my “to-do” shelf for that press.  I feel lucky to be able to have a cool place to hang out while being productive.

I suck with first drafts. And second drafts….decided to add the dance party window sill.

Nice workspace and displays!

As someone with a bunch of Kenner Star Wars figs but none on the cards, that's very much my jam.  Not so much the box labelled spiders though, my wife would hate that.

Doesn't it have to be special comic book wood so it doesn't offgas all over your inner well or something?

Did you used to write for Penthouse Forum?

I was able to pick up the Raphael #1 at Heroes Con back in June, I now have the micro series set that can be displayed with my Funko fabrications

Star Wars dance party with a Gamorrean Guard doing head spins is the best definition of, "being productive" that I have seen in a very long, long, long time.

Nice!

I don't know anything about these books ... but were they released around the same time and are they considered a set?  The four books are three different sizes and seem to have nothing in common in terms of overall design.

These are one shots (for each Ninja Turtle). Rapheal was released 1st and is oversized like the few few issues of TMNT. It is also the first appearance of Casey Jones. The stories are not interconnected, but i think most people would consider them a set. Mike, Don and Leo are relatively inexpensive and easy to find. 1st prints released in 1985-86

I've been obsessed with this geometric bookcase idea for a while now. Both ends were raised to appear one foot taller (7' with the 8' ceiling).

Favorites include The Dark Knight trilogy, Thundercats, misc DC, and Indiana Jones. Sold off all of my 6" figures as they were just too small for these bookcases.

Awesome! That it seems that you turned the end 2 opposite to each other is cool, the middle somehow still fits!

pro photos for house listing, so I figured it was a good opportunity to show what my comic room looks like before I dismantle it

There are again curtains on those windows, don't worry! You cannot really see individual pieces but you get a view of two Dr Strange walls and some starman pieces by the bar. No good views of the pieces in the hall after the bar though.

Finally! Bought this old 1970s Incredible Hulk pinball machine (playing surface only) and got it turned in to a cool coffee table. I think it turned out well.

kitty-kitty!  Been a minute since you posted that, not bad at all, looks great! Did they put anything on it to keep rust from spreading or coming back? I like the embellishment of more green and white!!
