Freak brothers collection amogst others. I found this little collection all together in last haul, a peek at what those times used to be different!

Hey 👋

I just got a new shelf for my comics and figures and I’m looking for some lights to make it pop a little more. Preferably without much cable management required. What do you guys recommend?

The shelf model is Kallax from IKEA.

We moved in to our house about a year ago, and for the first time I have space for a dedicated comic bookshelf shelf! There is a ton of room to grow, but just seeing them all together is amazing. I am happy to take any suggestions for books to add based on what’s already in the collection.

Released in 1993

Hey guys - Hope you can help me size my collection.

Background - I’m 53. Stopped collecting at 29 as kids and life came along. Started when I was 12, so a solid 17 years of collecting (during the highest comic book production era). I don’t think I have much of value in my collection. They’ve been in my basement since I moved. Rarely do I go in there.

Have a ton of long boxes and short comic book boxes.
How do I size each box? I don’t have them over or under stuffed.

Thanks - I’ll come back with photos and questions.

Some of the usual suspects here i found interesting and wanted to share. Feel free to add anything you may know about em.

Pain in the butt to get up there but I got every Alex Ross portrait timeless cover now hung up and I love it

I came in possession of a good amount of comics recently and some of them im curious about and wondering if by seeing them anyone can tell me more about them. This is only a batch and there are more. Either way some of these look pretty awesome. I may be holding on to them and glad I can share them with yall.

I've been buying comics on and off since 2017

As it's probably obvious from the pictures I mostly focus on Batman and the batfamily.

After a very long time and a hiatus from collecting I finally got back into it and managed to get a proper shelf.

It's still a work in progress with a lot of space to fill but I'm quite proud of it.

The lower level will be used to store my Warhammer armies and still need to find a better solution for the mangas so they don't take as much space.

What do you think?

What could I improve?

My other half is in boxes up in my attic. Don't have room for them yet.

(This doesn't include my own "Raytoons" Comics that I made which take up 2 more bookshelves.)

My display wall I built using metal j-bead, mounting tape, and some cheap led tape. I like how it is turning out.

I've been building a small comic collection and picked up a bunch today. These are a few of my favorites from the haul.

I am especially excited about the Captain Atom, but I like all the ones I got.

I don't have a nice fancy shelf yet, but I got the comic books 😁

Feel free to rate my haul. I don't have anything fancy or super super valuable yet.

My other very small collection so far of comic books is packed up and being shipped to my next home. I'll have pictures of them soon.

Just started reading comics couple of months ago here is my trade paperback collection.

I really enjoyed this read. I loved the tone and the sci-fi elements. I think the semi absurdist elements fit really well in a fast-paced story about a guy in tights, and overall, I felt it was a really great representation of Superman.

I personally think Superman is best executed when he's slightly older and almost dad-like. A world shattering foe is the equivalent of kids throwing sand at a tank. He rarely gets angry, but he does get disappointed in the failings of those he protects. I think this characterisation works perfectly when comparing the characterisation of Lex Luthor.

Great art, I'll definitely be reading more Frank Quitley.

What an iconic run for such an easy price point. Usually, when I go to the book store, the graphic novels and manga cost more than the novels I buy; but with the dc compacts, it was honestly the other way around.

What DC Compact should I get next?

I need some storage advice from fellow collectors 😂 I currently have three comic storage boxes that hold around 200 comics each, and Box #3 is officially FULL. I need Box #4, but I’ve completely run out of cupboard space 😭 The three boxes are already stacked together, with more bagged and boarded comics piled above them, plus another pile waiting to be stored. My other shelves are already packed with books, DVDs and collectibles. How do you guys make room when your comic collection outgrows your storage? And no, “stop buying comics” is NOT an option 🤣🦇📚

I've upgraded my comic/bookshelf setup! I know I still need to fill out the top of the shelf—thinking of adding some plants, LEGO sets, or just more Funko Pops.

Let me know what you guys think!
