Nice. Not that the American versions are ugly, but I always like the interlocking spine art. Wow those Mickeys are for Gottfredson's newspaper strips? I think I wouls prefer that size to the horizontally sized Fantagraphics versions.

I was first disappointed by Glénat design knowing that Rosa and Barks collection are softcovers books (Fantagaphics edition looks gorgeous), but the good thing is my 7 years old daughter can enjoy them without scaring me to much. They have found a good middle point between collector's book, and children's books.

Hello! New to forums, saw some great collections and decided to share my own! I was very lucky to have an amazing father in law who built me some custom bookshelfs so I could sort DC and Marvel, may need him to build some more one day!

I have an obsession with the Absolute Editions, just got the last Transmetropolitan the other day, which makes the collection complete (for now)

Heh!

if it wasn't for the tpb's it would have looked like you had stacked the books horizontally! And that you had some giant sized figures on top of the bookhelf!

I never understand people who keep their statues in boxes.

Nice collection, but I really wanted to turn the photo or my laptop in a first few minutes

my apartment is small and that shelf is next to kitchen. so for now i keep everything in their boxes and books in the plastic IST sends them in to avoid damage from oil splashes and all that. plus i have kids so yeah. one day i'll have my own room for all this stuff.. i hope lol

On this French Forum (on the equivalent thread), I have found the ultimate homemade book shelves (of course not the stacked books at the beginning ):

Definitely very nice, but I still prefer painted white or black shelves to the more natural colour. The reason being comic books are so colorful and eclectic, I find it gets too busy when you have natural wood as well. But that's just me.

Probably gonna take a break for a few months. Have a big backlog and not too much I'm interested in this summer. Dealing with not having any more shelf space for ths first time as well. Have to solve that puzzle sooner than later, especially because i plan on picking up most of the announced omnis later in the year. I dont want to be the guy with stacks of books piled up all over the place.

such a nice and well organized collection, mine is a freakin mess compared to yours with all the different formats and random volumes here and there (every time I plan out a buying schedule I screw it up with an impulse purchase).

Very nice. I should upgrade my old Lucifer trades to those nice looking ones. Shame they were not hardcovers.
