Hey guys.

My birthday is coming up and I am hopefully getting the last two issues I need to finish my Aliens: Colonial Marine comic collection. Now there are only 10 issues (11 if you include the one that came out with the game) and I'm looking for a nice way to store them.

A box would be far too big and I kinda want to keep them on shelf so they can be read. Any one know of a nice way to store/display a small comic collection?

Thanks!

(p.s any one who's interested I'm missing issues 8 and 9!)

Best way is store them in bags with backing boards , and in a box ... but if you want to have them on display then you can get hard plastic covers , best to go to your local comic shop and ask ... i store my Aliens comics ( which is a lot ) in hard plastic clear cases .. i have every first print of all the Dark horse comics since the first appeared , even have the re-edited version of the first story that came out after Alien 3 )

Depending on how often you want to read them, Wilkos sell very cheap (£2-£3) but very nice black photo frames in A4 and A3 sizes. They look great with comics in, I highly recommend them.

Thanks for the response!!

@Glen I personally was only interested in the colonial marine series by dark horse. I already own the omnibuses so these are just extras! I'm proud to own them.

@Simon I was thinking of framing them but we just don't have the wall space!

You could pick up a few of these photo ledges:

Bag and board the comics, and spread 'em all out on display. Would look kinda cool.
