TOG and I were talking about TPB collections on Twitter and he asked how I had mine stored...here's my setup. Before we moved into this house my collection was a mess.I had them in boxes and totes, and only the ones I cared to access regularly were on (very crappy and dangerously poor quality) shelves. Once we moved and had more space I was able to get 3 pretty solid shelves ($70 each I think) to store them. I actually need another one now - hopefully the store we got them from still has them. Excuse the mess...the basement is finished and functions as a huge play area for the kids and it's an absolute pig sty right now. Also, some of the pictures aren't great because I didn't realize I had the lights too low...
^ This is the whole thing in one pic. As you can tell I don't really have them in a specific order. Mostly I just arrange them to keep like series together.
^ Complete Y: The Last Man, the Star Wars 30th Anniversary series, Hellboy Library Editions, Morrison Batman, Complete Swamp Thing, and most of my Spider-Man books.
^ All of my Marvel Omnibus volumes, New Avengers, Punisher MAX, and other various Marvel stuff.
^ The DC shelves: All of my Absolute volumes, Green Lantern, Gotham Central, 7 Soldiers, etc. Also Walking Dead, Ultimate Marvel, and the Complete Calvin & Hobbes and Far Side editions there on the bottom.
