Some more pictures and background info/commentary from Gary of Ian's uber- collection. He mentioned that he neglected to talk about storage, but Ian can fill in for that bit. Please forgive the fact that the images are via links (my fault, not gp's)!

 

Over to Gary...................

 

 

The slight colour problems that exist on some of the pictures are a result of the lighting conditions in Ian's library. There is no natural light, only a set of overhead strip lights and the mylites tend to reflect this. To combat this, I had to adjust the light settings, but I'm not a photographer and the camera is a low to mid end digital. Thanks to Red and Dice for clearing up the first set for us.

 

"There is a degree of duplication in the 4 book shots here. The third in particular is covered largely in the other pictures, except it has the best shots of the New Fun issues which are about as rare as they come.

 

"When I first saw the collection I commented that it didn't look like 30000+ comics! It obviously was, but having only ever stored a few thousand in cumbersome short boxes, it's amazing what you can do in a purposely designed facility. The aisle space is quite narrow and the shelves go back a long way and getting a decent image here was very difficult, but the 2 shown give some idea of the layout.

 

"As well as this room, Ian has other material spread throughout the house and it's amazing what's lying around quite casually. The two issues of the Cancelled Comics Cavalcade certainly caught my eye!"

 

OK, thanks for that. Now here are the links:

Thankyou Andy for posting them up.

But it doesn't explain what actually happened to Gary.

Please tell us why he quit.

He thought things were getting a bit too intense around here, the last thread where he posted notwithstanding. He's only taking a sabbatical from the boards (like bronzebruce or even JC) for this reason and also because he also felt he was spending too much time here. He'll be back in a while - it ain't g'bye, more au revoir.

Nope.

At the moment, my Mother gets them all, as I owe her a fortune anyway.

Why does the movie "Comic Book Villians" enter my mind.

Tell your Mother to watch out for a guy named "Chuck". gossip.gif

 

Great shots of your collection. I hope you complete it, Ian.
