Real nice set up. What’s that blue deadly class book one?

So good! If I was in your shoes I’d look at getting a couple of graded single issues or maybe commission my favourite artist for a piece to put on the pillar.
What is you favourite book to read? And which is your favourite collected edition? (Print quality, book build, design etc.)

Awesome collection! My suggestion is a really nice piece of comic book art for your wall. I’ve seen some really cool pieces here.

Thanks for the suggestion and the link! I’d never heard of sideshow before so down the rabbithole I go!

I actually haven’t been able to determine what’s there. Whatever it is it’s not easy found.

Love the collection but I hope it’s just the camera angle and that the shelves are not actually warping

Awesome collection. What wall brackets did you use? Is the shelf deep enough for Absolute editions?

Really cool! Would you mind making a closer shot of the upper spidey hardcovers? :D

Sure thing!
There are a few more Spider-Man mixed throughout, but that’s the bulk of it.

This a really nice way to shelf...
But one question... have you heard of this company DC Comics?

u/horsehorse May 18 '20
Hah, there’s give or take ~150 books on shelves, of which around 20 of them are DC and/or Vertigo! You may notice that almost everything is newer as well, very few books collecting material from 90s and before. That’s intentional

Those Daredevil HCs are way out of print these days, excellent taste. I’ve only got the first one.

I actually found that once it came out in Omni, prices for the OHCs came down substantially and allowed me to find the rest. I prefer the OHC as as a reading format anyway so if I fall asleep in a book I haven’t given myself brain damage

Thanks! Super appreciate the sentiment, wasn’t sure how the color scheme would work initially but decided eh, worst that happens is a repaint (totally had to repaint the top white as initial concept painted it blue)

Very clean. Did you use drywall anchors for the mounting brackets?

It’s been a work in progress for awhile now and I finally have it in a place I’m comfortable sharing.
Tossing some ideas around on how to decorate the pillar more, suggestions welcome!
