Got a comic room??? Showcase it here!

Wanted to post a couple pics of my comic "gallery." It's a 10'x10' room in my home with gray painted walls and white molding.

I'm a big fan of DC: Batman, Harley Quinn, Flash, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman. A lot of Neal Adams for Neal Adams month :)

I also like The Walking Dead by Image.

The room has custom-built "floating" shelves that hold 50 comics (25 on each wall). All are CGC graded and most are signed (SS) as well. Sorry for the glare.

Another wall will eventually have a tall black wooden bookcase to showcase my action figures and the few statues I own. This will also block the one window and eliminate the glare.

On another wall is just art prints. The ones featured here are (clockwise left to right): Batman 655 with Andy Kubert wood wall art, Harley Quinn by Michael Turner, Batman (Gotham Knight by Kelley Jones - this was my first piece and bought at the now closed WB Studio Store, my dad and I framed this one), The Dark Knight Rises by Olly Moss, and the last piece is Bane, also from The Dark Knight Rises. The Harley print and the two for TDKR were custom framed by a local framer.

The last wall (not shown here) is the entry door and a closet. Above the closet I have all of my Batman Legos. In the closet are raw books and CGC books that do not currently fit on the shelves. Hope you enjoy.

 

P.S. Big thanks to dscott and Rich_Henn for obtaining a lot of these sigs.

Those Ikea picture ledges are pretty awesome. I have 4 of the long ones & 4 of the short ones in my room currently. They work great for slabs. 5 can fit comfortably on the long ones. 2 on the short ones.

 

I can't tell from the picture, but did you miter the corners at a 45 to get that clean fit? Or is there that little gap where they meet in the corner?

These are custom-made and we did not miter the corners but it probably would have been a good idea.

 

I think IKEA wanted more money for theirs ($ x 10) then our material costs and unsure how their quality would have been. This way we got to use the material that we liked (it's either oak or pine) and made the length that worked for us.

Ahhhh. Ok. They look exactly like the Ikea ones. Either way, still killer. I would have mitered the edges to get that snug fit & not have the little gap in the corner, but that's just me being anal.

This is pretty cool. Doesn't take up too much space and the carper is cool.

Nice setup!!! I like your style Mike! :applause:

Thank you!

 

Looks great! That Steve Scott Batman Sketch was mine not too long ago!

On Batman #0 (left bottom shelf)...yes, I love it. Thanks so much!

 

Awesome display! Do you have to worry about UV lights with the slabs?

Great question and this was my first and #1 concern. While there is a glare, there's no UV light directly hitting the slabs. The room is in the back of the house and the sun doesn't shine in. It's been less than a month and I hope to have the bookcase built soon to block the window entirely.

 

Sweet :applause:

Thank you!

Hey everyone, been lurking for awhile and I'm finally starting to contribute. I've actually went through every single page of this thread...so amazing! Love seeing how others set up their stuff.

 

Anyways here's my room, not too epic but gotta start somewhere!

 

My Wall- O-50 4299_900.jpg

 

You might have noticed I'm a True Blood fan. Got to meet Kristen Bauer A.K.A "Pam" and she signed one of my books. Also enjoyed J Scott Campbell's art within the comics, these are the red foil variants on display. Then a few Neal Adams signed prints, ToD 1 (keeping with the vampire theme) and Game of Thrones 1 variant (Neat cover, keeping with the TV show nerd theme). Also my Deadpool zentai, a dorky piece of personal art, and a Harry Potter statue. Nerd Alert!

Then I gave Batman a wall of his own. Love the canvas...Hobby Lobby has great comic theme decorative items. Some cool covers. Soon I'll have those precious Batman keys!
