There is no holder for it. I took mine to Staples and got it laminated for $10. Then hung it from the ceiling and weighed it down with two Superman items.

I love the early Bowen stuff. I used to have the Lovecraft and Cthulu busts, wish I'd held onto them.

That was my plan innitially...  I wanted to display ASM 1-10 but then I realized I had space to display 12 comics and that I also wanted to include Scorpion, Rhino... so I just chose to display ASM's with the villain on cover instead of just 1-10. 

If watch the videos, the shelves a pretty easy to make (just ikea shelves) with a trim to hide the LED lights. Thanks ! 👍

yeah I watched the video and good idea for the fishing wire to hang them in the air in their poses.. 

I was going to try this by trying to find statues that might be similar to the covers but haven't found any.. the action figures though match enough.. 

great work.

LOVING THIS!!! :cloud9:  :applause: :golfclap: :luhv:

Also wanted to add a pic of the first additions to my comic room in about ten years.

I did not read these books, but I love the cover art, so they are being displayed in UV protected frames.

Thanks !  Great books 👏 I'm a big Spider-man fan and I love all the covers too.

 

You are right about the UV protection.  UV can destroy the books quickly so I changed all my lights to LED and installed UV film and curtains on all my windows.

I moved into a new apartment back in March and the bed sits right up against the window, I enjoy looking out so the blinds are always about 1/4 the way up.

The sheets on the bed are Dark Blue and the sun faded the top of the sheet and pillow case to almost white in less than two weeks.

ahh nice I saw the black out curtains on your windows. 

I would still want to build something like this specially with those valuable comics in a closed closet or cabinet. but I will probably copy the led and using fishing wire with the action figures or statues thing. Like I would put the books and action figures in the cabinet you have your statues in I think it would be cooler in there.

yeah I dont think people understand that comics exposed to any light will still fade its just about how much light and how much time. 

if you had LoE coated glass you wouldn't have gotten much of that fade but apartment buildings glass is usually clear glass and steel window frames so it probably intensifies the heat and allows 100% of the UV to come in.. 

maybe sunscreen might help lol

Heh, kinda looks like my room. I had to pack all my books and stuff up when I moved a year and a half ago, and they're still sitting where the movers stacked them up during the load out. I should probably take care of that . . . eventually.
