Putting Comics Away

Very easy, none of that anal-retentive stuff. Just boxes with comics. A box Marvel, a few DC, a few Image/Oni/other assorted mainstream publishers and boxes for small press. Special attention goes to creators who have a different section because they write/draw for several companies like Paul Pope, Grant Morrison, Eddie Campbell etc
New releases (or whatever I last read) go to the front of the box, so this means no alphabetical system is necessary.

Beautifull hardcovers who are not too comic booky tend to go on my bookshelf reserved for artbooks in the living room (exception to the comic booky rule : Jack Kirby, because that is High Art).

It's a fun process

I think I file similar to you, only all short boxes.

New comics usually stay on the desk or in a cupboard for a few months. Then when I get the urge I bag & board them and file by title. Current titles or older ones I add to regularly (ASM) stay close to hand, while other boxes with complete titles get shoved into the wardrobe.

Storage is becoming a problem so some of the older titles I no longer want are getting refiled into a few of the new 'to sell' boxes.

Only three months?!? I haven't sorted my collection since 1998. Once the various piles around the house get too large, my wife and all simply chuck them into the nearest available longbox.

I used to have a pretty good system for sorting. Because I tend to collect interesting runs or single issues, it was easy to set up alphabetical boxes for Marvel, DC, manga, and the catch-all category of "Oddball and Indie". Long running series I collected (like LSH) had their own short or long boxes depending on how many issues I owned at the time.

I've got a system that probably wouldn't make sense to anyone else, but works for me. Though even I have to consult my database sometimes to find a particular book. For regular format comics, half are filed by primary creator (creators who fill a short box or more kept seperate, the rest alphabetical), a quarter in broad thematic sections (DC war, anthologies, westerns), the last quarter alphabetical. If a creator gets his/her own section is arbitrary, as is which books gets filed where. These are all mostly in short boxes on bookcases. Other format stuff is mostly paperback/hardcover stuff, on bookshelves filed by creator, with stuff that doesn't naturally fit any creator alphabetical on the last two shelves.

No boxes -- mini-comics in baskets on tops of bookshelves holding comics.

DC, Marvel and manga comics sorted by title.

Other comics sorted by author.

To tell the truth, I am in awe of anyone that can keep their comics organized on a regular basis. Working six days a week and maintaining a meaningful relationship with my wife and two children, I am lucky most days to have a chance to read my new comics!

Having purchsaed comics on a regular basis since 1980, storage is a huge problem for me. I have a walk in closet about 3/4 full of long and short boxes. The overflow of about 12 boxes runs up the side of the wall next to the bedroom entertainment center. My wife has been very understanding in the 13 years we have been together, but I fear that even she has her limits.

Every year or so, I take all the boxes out and attemp to organize by title and company. It is at this time that I try to file all the new comics that have gathered on top of various pieces of furniture in the bedroom. Sometimes the new comics are thrown in long boxes for the sake of having to use that same
furniture.

Great subject Mike, I am hoping to glean some ideas before I just give up and hire someone to organize it for me. Anyone out there a "Comic Collection Engineer"?

My system is realy dull. Now read on...

Everything gets bagged, boarded and long-boxed. Marvel and DC have their own sets of boxes, with titles listed alphabetically. Other publishers go into the imaginatively-titled "Other publishers" boxes, with publishers stored alphabetically and titles alphabetically within publishing house. The science is skewed somewhat by continuing uncertainty about where to put EC reprints (next to the real thing? Or is it G for Gemstone? What about East Coast? Etc) and the frankly pitiful catch-all of "U for Undergrounds".

New stuff, of which there is shamefully/gloriously little, goes in the long boxes as appropriate. And, like Bart, handsome hardbacks (Palomar, Locas, Arlen Schumer's Silver Age of Comic Book Art) go on the high-prestige bookshelves. Ooh, get him.

Other books, of which there are many, get put wherever there is room. That's where the system really collapses.

Long boxes, with almost everything alphabetical by title. Separate "Writer Misc" tabs inserted alphabetically for those random single issues that I would only ever look for by writer. (That is, I might someday say, "Hey, what Brian Vaughan stuff haven't I read in awhile?" but I will almost certainly never say "Do I have any What If? issues starring Ka-Zar?")

When things start to get out of control, I sell stuff on ebay, and during the runup to those sales, as many long boxes as needed get converted to "To be sold" boxes.

It's even less interesting than it sounds here.
Matt Terl | 03.28.06 - 6:23 am | #

I have one square box. Everything goes into it except trades which go on the bookshelf.

I'll make sure I get a cat to pee on the box before I try to sell the comics within.
joncormier | Email | Homepage | 03.28.06 - 6:26 am | #

"Just tossed into whatever box that happens to have some empty space?"

That's the one for me. I want to put them in some kind of working order and bag and board them, but I never seem to find the time. I prefer alphabetical grouped by publisher and then family of titles if available (Superman, Batman, Wildstorm, etc.).
Shane | Email | Homepage | 03.28.06 - 6:33 am | #

Unbagged, unboarded, unorganized. Well, kind of. I have my little room in the basement full of comics, but since it's baby-unsafe, I don't get to organize it very often.
One of my main concerns is putting together arcs or limited series, since I'm old fashioned and not "waiting for the trade." Nothing I hate more than having 5 out of 6 issues ready to read.
I am also one of the biggest quarter book junkies ever, which doesn't help: five bucks worth of almost random comics could be organized in many different ways. I choose "none," apparently.
Chuck T. | Email | 03.28.06 - 6:52 am | #

I do the same thing as Mike with the current series in shortboxes and then older stuff in longboxes (alphabetically by title). Except I haven't bought a longbox in forever and most of them are in my parents' basement (where, I hasten to add, I have never lived), so actually most of the books that should be longboxed are stacked in various closets with no organization whatsoever.

No bags, no boards. You can fit so many more comics in the boxes that way.

Trades/graphic novels are shelved alphabetically by writer for creator-owned stuff, followed by anthologies by title, followed by corporate-owned comics by title.

Well, I sold my collection. But when I had it, it was alphabetical by company, and within that, alphabetical by title. Bagged, not boarded, probably every six months.
Roger Green | Email | Homepage | 03.28.06 - 7:13 am | #

The main collection is alphabetical by title, bagged and boarded. Like Matt Terl, I do have a couple of special boxes for one-off's by my favorite creators (i.e. two issues of Eclipso drawn by Ted McKeever are easier to find under "McKeever" since I don't have the rest of series.) I also have the Dr Strange collection in separate boxes.

For new comics, I have a single box (an odd 3/4-length box) next to my bed for comics that I have recently read. This makes them easier to re-read, especially as new issues come out. About every 6 months, this box gets full, which results in a big "reading day", where about half of the issues get bagged and boarded and filed into the main collection , while the other half get put into the "eBay someday" boxes.

All of this is kind of moot, since 80% of my purchases these days are TPBs and GNs, but it worked pretty well back when most of my purchases were floppies.

I used to have everything in longboxes, divided by company (well... DC, Marvel, "indies," and manga), but then I bought shelving and remembered how heavy those suckers are. So now I'm in the (stalled) process of interfiling everything alphabetically into short boxes. New comics go into a longbox until they get filed.
Lisa Martincik | Email | 03.28.06 - 7:53 am | #

I bag and board everything, but put two comics to a bag ... usually. If it's the start of a new arc, it starts a new bag. if that makes sense. I often re-read the whole arc as each new issue comes out - this makes it easier to collect them.

For storage, I have a short file cabinet which has some sort of order. Kind of alpha, but I "collect" a lot - like one hanging folder for all the Superman stuff, whatever the title. This file cabinet is next to my desk, and keeps all the current stuff - arcs and minis still in progress, etc.

Then, after that it gets rotated into shortboxes with no organization whatsoever. I haven't even been back a full year, and am avoiding quarter bins and eBay, so I don't have that much. I'm sure in a while I'll need to make a system.

Greetings People,
I feel I'm at a collectors anonymous club. "Hi my name is Monte and I collect comics."
I've read comics since the late 60's. I just never seemed to get rid of them. I read and re-read them so many times that mint is out of the question.
I now bag and board. Put by company, then alphabetical. I am surprized how many one issue oddities I have. What to do with them?
The wife bought me a small water-tight storage unit to keep my 25 or so long boxes. Was this a loving gesture or did she just want them out of the house?

Everything bagged and boarded, in 19 long boxes. All titles are alphabetical. We are moving in three weeks and we have already purchased a large bookcase from Ikea. So I'll be able to get rid of most of the long boxes and have everything within easy access.

I have a "sell box" and I am in the process of reading all my "completed" series or major runs again(!). A Distant Soil 1-32 didn't make the cut and was sold on eBay last night, and Archer & Armstrong 0-12 is now going bye bye via auction hopefully. Up next - Arrowsmith by Busiek and Pacheco.

From the "more information then you need" department: Adventures of Luther Arkwright, Age of Bronze, Alias, AA of the Escapist, American Flagg, American Freak, Angel and the Ape (Vertigo), Animal Man and Pfeifer's Aquaman 15-22 are still on the team.

Anything Marvel stays. That's just way it is.

I have no trades or manga. That's also the way it is.

Just curious: How many of the comics in your boxes do you pull out and read once they're in?
Chris Griswold | Email | Homepage | 03.28.06 - 8:44 am | #

As I am an active back issue buyer, once I complete a run or a series, I pull out the whole thing and read it. About every 3-4 years, I "scrub" the whole collection and sell on eBay. Back in the dark ages, I'd get trade credit with the local comic shop.

Some stuff does not age well - stories I thought were cool when I was 17 don't appeal to me anymore, and some stuff I had when I was 7 I love.

Quick chrono:
1970 (Age 5) - It begins!
1981 (Age 16) - work at Geppi's Comic World in Largo, FL. Serious addiction develops.
1992 or so - Speculators! I'm cured!
2000 (Age 35) - After 8 years, Marvel sucked me back in with Max, Marvel Knights and the Ultimate Universe.
2006 - now 40 (41 in June - see Amazon for wish list - Mike Thompson/East Longmeadow) almost caught up on a decade missed. I didn't miss much, it appears...

My comics are still in my parents basement outside Chicago. I'm in Los Angeles and moving to Florida in a few months.

I'm just getting back in, so until I move, my new stuff will go in a stack somewhere in the apartment, bagged and boarded, cause the shop gives them to me.

My hope is to eventually get all my six or seven long boxes shipped to Florida so I can reorganize, rebag and board, and start the full collection in earnest.

When I DID organize them, they were alphabetical by title, with a separate box for miniseries and specials, and another separate box of mostly late sixties marvel I bought in one swipe at a garage sale.

anyone else who lives in FL or a similar hurricane-ravaged area and has any tips on how to store comics so that they won't be in great danger any time a storm blows through, i'm all ears. obviously the wife and baby get sheperded out first, then the long boxes.

It's pretty much whatever box is handy, plus some redwell files (anyone who's ever worked in a law firm knows these) in the TV stand, plus a stack or two around the house. Oh, and about a dozen boxes of stuff at my parents' house in PA. There's a grab-in-case-of-emergency short box (Flex Mentallo, select Bronze Age Superman books, Who's Who, that sort of thing) but no real rhyme or reason to what's where beyond that. I dream of going through it all and selling a lot of it on eBay -- I'll probably never, ever read those Busiek Iron Mans again, for instance, and lots of it is now available in trades or archives (in the case of my Superboy and the Legion stuff) -- but, realistically, that won't happen for years, since most of that stuff is in PA and I'm in Minnesota.

I used to keep them on shelves, then got comic boxes in the '70s and mostly put them in that. Now I have them in boxes (only 5 long boxes now because that's all I have room for -- I sold 10 boxes full about 12 years ago) and on shelves in a cabinet. Some titles had their own boxes, ie Detective, Batman, Superman, Action because I had so many of them. Others share a box by type. Nightwing, Birds of Prey, Catwoman, and a few short runs share a box (can't think offhand which ones, but probably female and/or Bat related titles). I do have one special box, for all things Roy Harper. I have my old Teen Titans, the New Teen Titans, The Titans, the Action Weekly issues with Speedy and Nightwing, the Arsenal mini and one-shot, the issue of the old Green Arrow with Roy, and The Outsiders. I'm not sure what I'll use to fill that box out now that Roy seems to have disappeared. I'm reading The Outsiders, but not keeping them now.

Since I live in a smallish apartment, I've got one closet for my comics collection. I have a sturdy four-shelf unit. One shelf I've got three piles on -- to read, to review/read, and supplies. Then on two lower shelves I have six short boxes with three more short boxes stacked beside the shelving.

The comics themselves are just organized alphabetically by title. All bagged, about 70% boarded (nearly all the new comics are boarded). One of the boxes has about half of it filled with mini-comics.

Then I've got trades and graphic novels on bookshelves in the apartment proper. When I feel like I'm running out of room, I sell some comics on ebay to clear out some space.

The times I'm "weeding out" my collection are when I most often end up re-reading old series and such.

I really, really want to avoid a sprawling collection that I keep just for keeping's sake ... but I'm not sure I'll avoid that fate.

When I sort (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA), I sort rote alphabetical by title anymore. I used to try to group things together by author, etc, but that got to be a pain to maintain.

I do not bag or board a comic that was made after 1980 unless it's got some perceived value. I keep my comics upright and dry and that's good enough with modern paper values, no?

There's something about the "sprawling collection" that comforts and terrifies me. My collection is fairly big, and there are times when I think, "holy crap, this is too much stuff", but then I begin my process as described above and realize most of it just simply nice to have. I have no problem sharing with nephews, and soon my son (17 months old) will be granted access.

Completism can be cured. My album collection (1800 vinyl records) was 90% destroyed in a basement flood a year ago. That hobby ended that day.
Mike Thompson | Email | Homepage | 03.28.06 - 11:16 am | #

Most of them are at my mother's house, and of those, they're sorted by alphabetical order, so Adventuress of Superman comes before Amazing Spider-Man, Teen Titans before Thor, etc.

At my apartment, which only has my comics from this year, it's a little moe scattershot. Marvel Spider-Man books, then Marvel solo titles, then Marvel team titles, then Ultimate X-Men, Ultimate Spider-Man, each of my DC titles (there's only three), and anything that isn't from the Big Two.

I have shortboxes covered in drawings and stickers and whatnot, numbered, with the comics inside listed alphabetically. I used to bag and board, so the vast majority of my books are all done up, but I stopped recently. Some of my comics are on a shelf, too, the surpluss that spilled out of the last box.

For manga, hardcovers, TPBs, collections of strips and odd-sized comics like Eightball #23 I just put them on a shelf like I would any other book. Manga, trades and hardcovers are all listed A-Z but kept in three seperate groupings (digests like Scott Pilgrim or Runaways are grouped with manga), and the strip collections and odd-sized comics are together but not listed in any way other than what looks best to me.

About a third of my collection is at my parent's house. That portion is in long boxes. Each box is sorted alphabetically by title, but the whole collection is not alphabetized--I would sort boxes as I filled them, but never got around to organizing the whole thing. All of this stuff is bagged, but only some of it is boarded.

The rest of the collection is stuffed into various long and short boxes at my house, plus more than a few piles around my office. Most of those are sorted like the stuff at Mom's. The "home collection" is bagged and boarded, with few exceptions.

I doubt I will ever completely organize my collection. I have hope that it will be catalogued, but that's too much like work these days.

Not including bookshelf stuff, I have the bulk of my collection (i.e. the stuff most likely to survive a purge) in two, I think they're called "document suitcases" or something. They're pretty much the same dimensions as longboxes, but I can carry them around like I'm in a Robert Rodriguez movie. (I haven't. Yet.) That's all in alphabetical order by title, except Mignola and Seth Fisher, who get their own little ghettos. I cram as many comics as I can into a bag, no boards, no tabs. Then I have a short box of misc. stuff. Newer aquisitions are in magazine files on a shelf, as is stuff I plan on getting bound (which is what I'd like to do with everything over fifteen issues or so, eventually). TPBs and hardcovers take up maybe five or six long boxes worth of shelf space. The ridiculously oversized stuff like Jimbo in Purgatory and the ACME joke books are wherever I can fit them sideways.

Last weekend I filled two short boxes with stuff I don't really want to keep around, but probably will anyway, as I'm too lazy to ebay it, and can't quite bring myself to recycle it. While doing this, I learned that it's not a good idea to let a black rubber band of some kind fall into a box of comics, and then decompose into a soft, sticky, inky, black rubber band-shaped paste that just gets over everything. (Most of the comics were bagged and safe.)

I bag everything now, but didn't always. It just makes it slightly easier to store them. I usually bag multiple comics in a single Golden or Silver Age size bag.

There are currently ten long boxes for DC and Marvel, including hardcovers, trades, tabloids, and digests. Four short magazine boxes contain the indy books. In addition, I have a shelf for the stuff I am currently collecting - mostly the Showcase books.

I have another four long boxes filled with books that need to go. Will I ever get around to it? Who knows?

I have traps.

Around my living room, set in very easy t reach places, are new issues. They pile up in little stacks until there's some better books and then they... find a short box. I am small and long boxes are a pain and besides, short boxes make good fort bricks. Most are grouped by company or title, others are grouped by when I bought it last. Every year I swear Scarlette O'Hara style that I'm going to go through, rebag and organize my books, but...
Anyhoo, the traps. You see, I have a lot of friends who are interested in comics, but rarely know where to start. That's where the traps come in. If they sit down on the ouch, they will eventually be drawn to a cover and the next thing I know, conversation or movie watching has stopped so someone can go through the FF vol. 1 hardcover I leave nearby or that one issue of the Jenkins Inhumans series I love so dearly.
The hope is that I can at least foster some interest, if not lure someone into the store tomorrow.
I am a horrible person.

I have coming up on 15 long boxes full. The (mostly Marvel) long runs of stuff from my youth are in the first 6 or 7 boxes, then a couple of boxes of DC runs, then newer stuff. The boxes are numbered and I use a Word table to keep track of what's in what box.

I built a shelf unit to keep the long boxes in - couldn't find any premade units deep enough for them. Far and away my most ambitious DIY project ever!

I've got 102 short boxes in my dehumidifier-equipped basement, organized by title and put in whatever box has room. I recently finished organizing them all after oh, say 15 years or so of total disorganization (and after it took me about 18 months to slowly get the remaining boxes from my mom's attic), so now there's a system. Each box has a number, and I've got a Word file on my computer that says what's in each box, plus a card on the front of each box listing the titles inside. And yes, I bag and board it all, not so much because I care about condition, but because I'm an anal bastard (and I've heard tales of comics surviving basement floods due to the bagging).

In addition, I've got seven or so longboxes of stuff that needs to go. Once I've gotten rid of that (eBay, recycling, etc.), I'd really, really like to start doing what some of you have mentioned doing: re-reading the old stuff and deciding what needs to go. It's rare that I pull out the old stuff these days, and when I do, it, to note one example in this comments thread, probably ain't going to be Kurt Busiek's run on Iron Man, much as I enjoy the man's work on other titles. That said, I also like seeing my wife and son, so I have no idea if that project will ever get off the ground. It probably took me a year to get them organized, by stealing an hour here and there over the course of 12 months.

As a guy whose Mom threw out his comics (little knowing she'd thus created an obsessive hoarder), I'll admit that the idea of not having everything I'd ever possibly want to re-read in my collection scares me a bit, but with comics going for so cheap on eBay these days, I'm pretty sure I could recover just about anything I regretted getting rid of. It's taken me a while to get to this point, though, and like Mike Thompson, a flood made it happen. I lost three boxes of comics and GNs in a flood, and I really haven't missed them at all in the two years since their destruction. That's changed my thinking a bit in a way that the logical arguments against having 102 boxes of comics haven't.
Greg Judson | 03.29.06 - 11:01 am | #

I have about 35,000 comics (most of my collection from 1959 to about 1996) in a storage bin in god knows how many long boxes. A small percentage are bagged, but none are boarded. Within those boxes, they're divided by publisher, alphabetized by title, and sorted numerically.

Post-1996, they're in long boxes stacked up in my downstairs "Inner Sanctum" with the rest of my books and records.

I must admit that, in spite of my best intentions, I can't recall a time I've ever cracked open any of those boxes to re-read something.

The wife wants me to sell stuff to pay for my half of the down payment for our house. I just haven't gotten around to it - after four years in the house. I can easily part with most of the Marvels; I only started reading those in 1965 and aren't a strong part of my childhood. The DCs and Towers, though, would be more difficult to part with.

When I was a wee lad, my two-years-younger brother and I both got into comics with GI Joe in 1983 when I was 12. There was a stack on the dresser for some time until someone realised it was getting kinda high ... we took over an old cabinet and eventually when that filled up with piles of books it was time to accept there was a problem and figure out some sort of storage system.

At some point we started using "banker's boxes" (letter wide, legal deep) to store comics in, bagged and boarded, generally with two comics per bag (board in between), in two rows. Mostly alphabetical by character, not a big deal beacuse in those days we were Marvel zombs (plus Groo, GI Joe and Transformers). While we always split costs, at some point I became the buyer and he became the cataloguer. He moved to Maine several years ago and most of the collection went with him, except for a couple longboxes of things only I was interested in. These longboxes are organized thus: Savage Dragon and Transformers fill one box; everything else is in the other (more or less alpha by character).

When I last visted him in Maine (haven't in about four years) comics for the previous four or five years were in various unorganized piles; I have no idea how he's managing things these days. He's been reading and organizing for the last two or so years, redoing a database and sending me lists of what we got that he's read so I can tell him if I think it should go or not. (Sometime or another the collection was separated into companies but still alpha by character) We still split costs and I send him new books three or four times a year.

I have bought collected books for almost as long as I've bought comics. I had stacks of unorganized books in several places of my apartment ... up until this January, when I yanked everything and put everything in order by character (mixed with by author, if not a "superhero" title) as well as culling stuff that no longer interests for a third time in five years. The culled books are, at this point, about the same amount as the "keep" stuff, which fills 14 shelves about 26 inches wide.

Wow, that was long. Uh, the short version is, organized by character.

I'm mostly longbox, but I recently got a great spinner rack (for twenty bucks!!) at a flea market. It's a little beat up, but it holds TONS of comics.

I have Kirby in one whole box of his own, yanked out of contintuity, just like that!

Mike, I have a huge question I need help on: how do I store original artwork? Some of my friends have original pages framed . . . is this a good idea? How do I keep my (one, prized) Kirby Kreation (a Machine Man page) safe--yet showable?

Please help!

Gorjus - I'm not an expert in this particular field, by any means, but I think so long as you have it framed and out of direct sunlight, it should be fine. Perhaps there's some kind of coated glass for additional protection? I honestly don't know.

We've had a couple of original pieces up on a wall in the store for several years now, and they don't show any signs of fading and such.
