Here is one wall of my Comic Book Armory:
This is an old pic...all of those spaces are filled and then some.
I have another wall that contains my novels, one wall that has the closet containing all of my various weaponry...and the fourth wall has a futon, lamp and a new bookcase that is my newest addition.
Now if I could just get some signed FPW books to put on that wall.
I'm going to keep an eye out for when FPW does a con or signing in my area.
That's a nice little collection you have started there Ed. Here's a sample of mine...[ATTACH]
[/ATTACH]
The shelves are from my old bookstore. I got them free after we "condensed sections". They are six shelves high and each one holds almost a longbox and a half. I've been collecting a long time. If you look at the bottom picture you'll see some hardcover Masterworks, the rest are floppies. I still have longboxs as well. In another room I have 70+ DC Archives, Some Absolute editions and other slipcased collectors editions.
BTW Scott- I will suggest Cerebus for your reading tastes. It's a 300 issue limited series that ran from 1977- 2004. They are collected in "phone books" of 25 issues give or take. The first volume is crude and somewhat amateurish, Barry Windsor Smith Conan tribute, but after the second volume it becomes a riot. Make it through the first volume and it does have it's moments. But the second volume on becomes amazing.
Also Greg Rucka & Ed Brubaker did a series called Gotham Central for DC. Batman's not really in it but it follows the Gotham City PD. Great twisted stuff.
I also have more bookshelves for novels. Including a nice FPW mostly autographed limited edition collection.
