Comic book drawers!

[tuftears]

I have quite a few comic books. I was wondering how to store them... You can't really put them in a bookcase because unless they're graphic novels, there's no binding side to speak of, it would just be a row of staples facing the reader. Standard comic boxes would work but you can't stack them...

Or can you?

Browsing around, I came across some interesting references to comic book file drawers, and decided to try putting them together.



Here's the first row of these. Ultimately there'll be four or five rows. I got these from CollectionDrawer.com.

Interesting stuff, I had to admire how cleverly the cardboard is cut so you can assemble these from just a few sheets of cardboard each, but they fit together pretty securely, and importantly, will bear weight. At least I hope they will. -_- That many comics will weigh a lot.

There's always the "hanging files" option. I've seen quite a few stackable systems intended for that sort of thing. Put N issues per file folder, and you're set.

(I'm assuming these are bagged; _everything_ seems to damage un-bagged comics, with humidity being my main worry in your climate.)

Fair point. I probably need to buy a bunch of comic bags for the ones I significantly care about. -_-
