How do you display your comics? 1 1

[Ruskoinabiscuit]

I am thinking some black shelves would look nice that way I could display some related action figures as well, but I found some really nice comic book holders on amazon for a decent price. How do you display your cgc comics?

Since early 70's. But had to stop numerous times due to the glamourous lifestyle, and frequent calls from the Mayor on the red phone.

That’s awesome, by any chance do you have any that you bought in the 70’s new and kept through the years??

I'm just really disappointed that you don't look like a small dog with perfectly coiffed hair.

Oh and here's how I display a bunch of my comics:

Yes,, issues of Incredible Hulk, March 1977 Issue 209 where he fights Absorbing man. (That made a huge impact on me) Daffy Duck and Underdog. Meanwhile my Dad would get me some Classics Illustrated and Various Dell comics that I didn't appreciate until years later.

I remember getting X-men 3, 6, and 8 (back around 1980)  Stared at them for hours.  Was memorized with Kirby's artwork, but didn't know who he was just yet.  I see you've chosen to place the Tales of Suspense from top to bottom as well as the X-men, and Daredevil.  Interesting choice instead of the side-by-side approach.  Did you choose that because you had 3 each?

Actually that's just a photo from my Photobucket from 6 or 7 years ago.  I rotate out what's up all the time.  Now I have three walls in my stairwell done.  One is Schomburg covers.  One is Steranko covers.  The third is early Marvels.  

EDIT:  I'd take a newer picture, but I'm in Ohio to pick up my son from college.

Those are some beautiful frames - and I like how it’s descending slanted down and organized by title in columns. Very cool! Thanks

That’s pretty cool! Especially since it has sentimental value to you as well. I think it’s much cooler to have a title from that era that you actually bought during the time then to buy one from someone else.

I use this. I can swap them out ll the time easily. Great for doing "themes" like holiday covers or other themes. Any size book works and good for other paper stuff as well.

Just want to throw this out there...

When displaying in a room with windows do not forget about UV protection.

I don’t.
