Storing Comics Stuff
Posted by maggie

In the course of clearing the way through bookshelves to the basement ashpit, I've found a bunch of odd items that are tricky to display. Have you found a good way to display things -- or have you, like me, just tossed them in a random box to deal with later?

For example, I found one of those bas-relief Dark Knight Frank Miller "posters." It consists of a plastic-formed Batman figure, teeth clenched, glued to a card backing. Seeing as how it was produced in the mid-1980s, the glue to the backing has dried to virtual uselessness -- but the piece is, nevertheless, in pretty good shape.

Is it highly collectible? Or just something to go back in a storage box?

(In the meantime, I smile to recall that someone -- Peter David, maybe? -- customized it by putting a tiny toothbrush in Batman's hand, so Batman appeared to be posing nobly to brush his teeth.)
