Allotta comics

I used to keep my comics in A4 display folders, about 40 per folder. It was handy for awhile because they could be kept on shelves and easily flicked through. Then i ran out of shelf space so stuff got archived into boxes (still in their folders). then i ran out of space for boxes, so i've been slowly taking everything out of folders and putting them in your regular comic short box. I have a wall of about 20 cartons behind me and whilst making "i'm building a fort!" comments may of made Emma smirk early on, i believe that ship has sailed, or more appropriately that comic has shipped. What's worse is i still have all more Xmen stuff to work through (xmen, uncanny, xfactor, new mutants, excalibur, xforce, wolverine).

About 180 per box x 20 boxes. E-gads - how sad.

In the process i'm making a list of gaps in the collection (i'll sell a kidney for Sandman mystery theatre #25) as well as figuring out what i can donate, sell and hang on to.

So if anyone has any runs of comics (i'm not desperate enough to sell single isues yet) they are interested in, let me know. (for example kyle rayner green lanterns, or the Texira ghost riders or the death of superman run) I'll offer stuff here first and then try my luck on ebay.

On a similar note of sorts, michael turner isn't going to be at Supanova - whilst i'm not a fan (not that i dislike his work either) i recognise he has a profile which would get some people excited. Replacing him is Scott Lobdell, who i only know of as the writer who was writing Xmen when i dropped Marvel titles and who was responsible for the Charest issues of Wildcats (2nd volume) (which i'm tracking down actually). So has he done anything of note?
