The Graphic Novels / Comic Books thread Pt 2

Our Year

do you all use longboxes to store ? they look ugly any other way to keep them ?

Our Year

Inked

Yeah and then into a cupboard. Shame as it hides all that great cover art away.

Some images from last year, so yeah, long box and cupboard

I steal empty paper boxes from work & put mine in there...they lay flat rather than stood up like in Longboxes.

Done it for years & they do the job for me & best of all they are free

I use them as well - you can see three in the picture above. A bit of packing tape around the bottom to strengthen, and they are a very cheap alternative. Not as good as a box as they are not stackable, but once I have two papaer boxes full, I know its time to buy another comic box.

Lol yeah just saw them actually

I stack mine ok.

I pilfer the lids as well & like I said I lay the comics down so they stack rather than stand up so I put the lid on then stack them up

Thanks for the kind words! Picked up Batman Year One as I've heard that's something of an essential purchase. Looks good.

Soundwave

It is indeed & it's a cracking read.

If you like that then there's a whole world of must read Batman titles & I'd recommend the following...

Dark Knight Returns
Long Halloween
Killing Joke
The Man Who Laughs
Earth One
Death in the Family (Not to be confused with the current: Death of The Family Arc)
Gotham By Gaslight
Hush

All essential reading.

It's hard to recommend much outside of those until you find what you like & then start working from there but almost every character in every universe has a few must read titles.

Anyway as Theydon said welcome aboard, hope you have the correct change...this is some seriously expensive ride
