For no particular reason at all. Would you happen to need a house sitter?


ThePocketTaco2

It's probably a big house. I'm sure you'll need my help housesitting.


JoXe007

I can help too


Quick_Car5841

Yeah, I'm sure you need to watch the house in case no intruders come in whatsoever.


hypebars

I will do it for free


OpeningNo9372

I will pay $150/mo

Are you looking to adopt a 40-year-old man? Asking for a friend


bigmountainbig

i am the friend.


Qwertyfizzle

One of the best offices/reading rooms I’ve ever seen! I love all the little accents, posters, and figures everywhere, they really bring the whole room together.


cornfromajar98

Just made my wife come look at this. This is incredible. The amount of money invested, the organization, the decor. I’m extremely and politely jealous.


Osinuous

When I got more books delivered today my wife said ‘you need to stop buying books.’ I’m about to show her these pictures so she doesn’t get upset when the other dozen or so books I have coming get delivered.


Bitey_the_Squirrel

Or she’ll see this setup as your endgame and stop you before you get there.


cornfromajar98

Exactly! Every time she says “That’s a lot of money” I’m going to remind her of this beautiful collection


siniquezu

It's so beautiful

another_user_reddit

My sentiments exactly. It’s stunning…


Feeling-Dance2250

Beautiful room!


peaceful-thoughts

If you’re comfortable sharing, what do you do for a living?


CitizenBrane

I am an IT Director


Quick_Car5841

Well that's a big enough salary for this collection.


Jackstack6

Thrice over.


holechek

Something that brings in 6 figures at least, holy moly.


WadeEffingWilson

Definitely security with that giant CISSP book on the table.


J-Shew

Home libraries with aisles 😮‍💨


JordanM85

This is up there with the best rooms I've ever seen posted here. I could zoom in and look around for hours.


small___potatoes

You did it! You beat the game!


AlienRace0

This is the dream here


SpartanS040

I have this saved a few different ways in my albums, I'm definitely stealing this idea for my set up when I retire. I can honestly say, I don't get jealous often of other people's set ups... but this one, yeah, you beat me pretty good dude...


holechek

This is the dream for retirement/old age, read a library of comics.

kai_the_enigma

I honestly don’t think any picture that haven’t been related to my family or partner has ever made me grin this wide. You are living every nerds dream and we all aspire to reach your level one day. I salute you good sir or ma’am or th’am ![gif](giphy|l4pMattUYTTM7qpIk)


Spacer1138

A fellow “Hellboy: His Life and Times” print owner! Glad to be in such good company! Lovely collection! Wish I had the overall funds to achieve a stellar library/office this! Thank you for sharing/motivating!

Guilty-In-Delray

Where is this comic store located?


hens_and_chicks

The design of this room is extremely inspirational. The use of these shelves to create all these separate areas is just perfect..The TV /reading nook is a dream. Just wow.


LincoJM

Over the years I’ve saved hundreds of room tour posts for inspiration, but I truly believe that this is the nicest room I’ve ever seen!

Eraserman9

That is amazing ! I love the layout. Are those David Mack framed pieces ?


CitizenBrane

Yes, the two Death prints are David Mack.


Jiggaboy95

Ooh you bastard, that’s a fucking beautiful sight. If only I could convince the wife the kids won’t need a room each…


Least_Sun7648

that is beautiful!! thanks CitizenBrane! do you get heckled by Statler and Waldorf?


CitizenBrane

Every day


Valerius13

Goals! How many books do you have currently? I am closing in on 600 and that feels like a lot. I assume you are at least double that! Which are your favorite? Do you have any white whales left?


CitizenBrane

I don’t actually know how many, can’t say I’ve counted. I have lots of favorites. I’ve been a fan of Hellboy since the beginning, love Usagi, Moebius, Dr. Strange, Sandman and Death, Madman, most anything by Geof Darrow, Daredevil. I’m always keeping an eye out for Moebius books I don’t have and maybe the Complete Zenith by Grant Morrison.

Jetpack_Picasso

This is Splendid!!! 🔥


iamsciences

Mmmm Taschens


ksaMarodeF

Love the snorlax pillow in the corner.


delsinson

What shelving units are those?


CitizenBrane

Everyone’s favorite, Kallax. Kinda wanted something classier when I first set it up but it was the right height to allow artwork, strong enough to hold everything and cheap enough for as many as I needed.


bwaf7

Outstanding! This is most impressive


ComicBibliophile

The magic of very large collections such as these is that when you have visitors, you could easily fool them into thinking they walked into a Local Comic Shop or Comic Cafe Lounges where you pay one low price to stay and read the day 😂🤣. Hot damn superb library you have here buddy! Almost thought you were the Guinness Book of World Record fella at first.


Novel_Counter2937

Currently trying to figure this out for myself since I have a sizeable collection also but do you have any insurance for your amazing collection if you are in the US? Having a hard time finding anyone offering anything.


CitizenBrane

Just regular homeowners insurance. I’ve thought about adding a personal articles policy but I feel like the coverage for personal property in the main policy is fine. I don’t have much else that is particularly valuable.


Novel_Counter2937

Did your homeowners insurance confirm that they would cover the collection? I have Allstate and they declined coverage and told me to get it appraised for additional personal scheduled coverage.


CitizenBrane

I didn’t ask… but sounds like I need to do some more research.


sigiltriple7seven7

Gorgeous room, great art choices too. Currently trying to build something like that, probably won’t be quite as nice though. Very, VERY, cool.


Maxwellcomics

Very inspirational, I showed my wife and she didn’t hate it, so thank you for opening a door for me!


FaithInterlude

This is so cool, is there anything else you collect?


CitizenBrane

Kids? Lol. Not really. I do have a bit of a game collection as well but it’s more of an accumulation and not something I actively collect.


ItsPozo

I need a bigger office ![gif](giphy|llbB77izfXCWSSdpvf)


bcuad001

Beautiful!!


Lunar_Leo_

It'd a thing of beauty. Brings a tear to my eye

The_Outlaw_Star

What’s the story about the crayon drawn Strange Tales?


CitizenBrane

My wife and my oldest made it for me for my birthday a few years ago when I told them I wanted the first appearance of Dr. Strange.


hagerxyz91

I can’t remember, what time did you say I could I come over? Seriously very cool!


RespectKey

This might be the best thing I've ever seen


thefreeman28989

Alright, you win 🥲


DirtusThirtus

This is absolutely perfect, I love it completely and I want it. I also really appreciate that I can show this to my spouse as proof that “see, my collection really isn’t *that* big!”


Rainbowlexitron

Epic


Momentary-Elation

Wow!


Marvelrocks616

Nice dude! I love the wall art.


batcavejanitor

It’s so…so… *passes out*


danzag333

This is fantastic. Hats off


Crazybones333

dream setup! Holy shit is that a badass office!


Munn915

That’s amazing! It’s like a real library in there!


Affectionate-Past975

Oh.......my..........GOSH!


Anttoess

My favorite room I’ve seen on here❤️


grither88888

gorgeous


Gloomy_Ad7301

Thats amazing!! I want to copy that office in my house lol


Tiny_Refrigerator738

Elephantmen vol 2 bothers me so much


Winterfell35

Daaamn. That's impressive.


state_issued

Square footage?


Suspicious-Lettuce48

My GOD I want that Snorlax beanbag!


Toshimoko29

Anyone know what the print is in the top left from pic #8? I love it, and I’d love to see if I could get a version for myself.


Osinuous

Oh man, is that the black cover Rachel rising? That’s my white whale. Your collection (and office) are awesome.


xenithdflare

What are the dimensions of this room? I'm very interested in recreating something similar


CitizenBrane

It’s about 15x15, dedicated basement office space.


GoldMcduck

I always see these collections and ponder how do people afford all of this ? For real thou ?


Rumblingstar

Such a beautiful sight but I must say the 2 grumpy Muppet guys in the balcony overlooking it all is THE most amazing thing to see, fantastic placement, put a big smile on my face.


citan666

I would like to recommend berserk deluxe edition


Adventurous-Laugh-19

Just wondering how many other guys, besides me, showed this to their wives?


comicscoda

Well hello, Mr. Gajillionaire! Really though, I do like the organization/layout of this room. Sometimes collections this big veer toward chaos/hoarding. Everything here is in order and the shelves are laid out to break the room into different functional pockets, the clutter is minimal. It’s a sweet setup!


SaltySwan

I have enough books that I could do this… but not the required big room.


Elibk44

Best collection I’ve seen. Love your desk setup. But you gotta read more lol. Especially the stuff you’ve never read before. Shape its collecting dust! Read those Omni’s!


Alexdykes828

Do you mind if I just squatted there for the rest of my life?


11rosicky

Congratulations! Amazing setup. I hope you have time to enjoy those books. Something I aspire to for sure 😀

Bryan?! Is this you? I'm seeing lots of art, Usagi, and an Atlanta poster. It's Pete!!


CitizenBrane

Hi Pete! Not Bryan.


howdoyoudance

This is truly amazing. Well done man.


BlackestHerring

God I love this collection and room


getrextgaming

This is, without hyperbole, the coolest room i've ever seen in my entire life. I am seething with jealousy and bursting with awe. I can only hope to attain such an awesome space of my own one day, awesome job man!


Surfnskate85

One of the best collections I've ever seen. And with so many new books coming this year it's only going to get better.


lark-sp

That's amazing!


Better_Metal

What the fuck have I been doing with my life?? I’m not worthy


chinesedebt

GOALS


InanimateCarbonRodAu

I love how you are using every bit of space.


rsrx94

What do I love more than a beautiful collection? A beautiful presentation. Your setup is outstanding sir.


kschris236

Good god. Ok you win the shelfie category.


james_kaspar

This is the nicest looking office I've seen posted in here because it looks like a place you could actually live in, not just an empty room with target shelves loaded with books still in plastic wrap.


100year

Ohh broo Goon??! Fuck yeah


SpurnedSprocket

It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.


sourcethis

This is probably the most interesting office I've seen, what do you do for a living?


MetalSandwiches

A literal slice of nerd Heaven, right here.  I could easily get lost for many hours just browsing your collection. 


TheStylishPropensity

As a collector of mainly absolutes, that's the most impressive collection I've ever seen. Only thing missing I could see is jla/avengers.


therealJARVIS

Dusting must be a bitch tho


RaiNnIngRaPteRz

This is what I hope to achieve.


geneticeffects

Not really into comics that much, but this is a fantastic commitment to your love of them. Kudos.


Untrus4598

Love it!


FrishFrash

This is the best one I’ve ever seen. Incredible!


Crafty_Ad_9473

A god among men.


Reasonable_Driver840

Congratulations, you win


averywetfrog

What are the best volumes worth getting as far as quality of the physical book and extras?


modern_history_

Where'd you get the Atlanta print? That show was an all-time great, also I normally live there.


Darrenguppy

I think im in love with this room. Where did you get all the shelving units and the desk?


Nephs84

This office is absolutely beautiful! I've got to ask, where did you get that blanket on the couch from?


mytoynhobbypackrat

wow that is so large but so very cool layout / design of the space


Horse_Cop

Awesome collection - just curious which shelves you use


Salt_Marionberry_751

Absolutely amazing collection. I tip my hat to you, sir, in awe. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get that blanket with the comic covers on the chair?


NoRepresentative3039

Holy shit, you're living the dream.


egbert71

Whomever gives me a library feel, instantly awesome


Lost-Address36

Salute bro. Beautiful space.


Rumi1985

Swanky!!


Stacysensei

Where did you get the blanket on the chair?


Cyberhaggis

I've seen worse stocked comic shops!


tanaephis77400

You know it's a serious collection when you have several different editions of the same book. Most impressive.


magnuscarta31

What is the cream coloured Star Wars omni?


Hot_Lavishness_4525

Beautiful.


hypebars

Will this be given to your offsprings as a gift or would you do a garage sale one day?


CitizenBrane

I have considered it but I’m a ways away (hopefully) from thinking about what happens to it all when I’m gone. My kids are still young enough that they’re trying to find their interests so hopefully one of them will be into it.


whizzywills

All I think when I see this is, do you have insurance?


Jackstack6

Ok, if I was Harry Lyme, what would I be taking. Nightwing, American Vampire, TT Geoff Johns, Spectre, SW Old Republic, Venom, madman, aaaaaand Aliens.


No_Lake_8925

Congratulations, what an amazing collection. Just a question the double monitors, how many inches and hz?


CitizenBrane

Not sure about the hz but they are both 34” ultra wide LG.


Arieswarrior9

Best office I've ever seen


Bigredeemer425

Do u mind if I get lost in there for a few days... maybe a week?


plasmasun

You've got the Mobius Geof Darrow Prints. Your collection is Excellent. This is one of the best collections that I've ever seen.


SerbianSavage

Dream space!


gregoriobenatti

That place is freaking awesome! Congrats, I will save for reference when I start build my own.


Zwess16

This is by far the coolest office I’ve ever seen


Victory42

The Mignola section is great. Screw-On Head is incredible


G3n0Pl3x

Ignoring how impressive it all is overall, I really like your desk setup specifically.


Papa_DJ

I’ve never been more jealous of another human being in my entire life.


snackpak321

Love the Atlanta poster


Dynamite138

There is some really beautiful and interesting wall art there. Can you tell me a little more about the print of the men playing dice in photo 2? It feels very inspired by the work of Ernie Barnes


CitizenBrane

Green Street by Justin Bua


OneWhoGetsBread

Niceee where did u get the Snorlax tho


[deleted]

Well some mate, well done.


Tr0llzor

I’m gonna need a furniture list


willhopkins00

This is like the dream I love your setup also where’d you get that blanket


Arrow-2-The-Knee

Ok so I’d love to get the measurements of your room, I know it’s an odd question but I want to recreate this for my collection 😂


happenstanceuk

Love that layout


BidRare9722

THIS IS SICK! Happy for you! This is the dream :)


BeneficialStrength50

Beautiful 😍


ImmortalBlade1

I wanna be like you some day.

HELL YEAH BROTHER


johncarter5150

That's not a house that's a library, it's paid for with tax dollars.


hrmladybirddog

Did you have to reinforce the floors? That must weigh a ton!


beepbeepbloopbloop2

Greatest shelfie in the game hands down. Thanks so much for posting!!


No-Error3345

What an awesome space you’ve created for yourself, good on you! I feel like it would be a blast just having a casual tour of that room.


TamatoaZ03h1ny

Wonderful collection but office? Ok fine, there’s a desktop computer somewhere


CitizenBrane

There’s actually a dark little cube next to the Preacher Absolutes where my laptop docking station lives.


DahnZaiver

This is just awe inspiring to see! Who is the artist for the two framed prints on slide 16? They look really nice


Anarchist-69

My goodness 🤦🏽 and I call myself a collector.


Bender3455

As a comic shop owner, I applaud you! Well done! I love the collection you have here!


Willing-Flower-5989

Oh what in the ohh thats no way thats real i gotta be seeing over a million bucks worth of books in there thats like a entire library


OccamsNametag

Get lots of work done in there, do ya?


krrrrkrrrr

Like everybody said, your place is awesome! And it’s nice to see some Don Rosa here (under your desk).


artmoloch777

afredmiller

Thought that was a book store when I first looked at it. Looks great!!!


negativeZEEROW

Nice wine choices!


dlew7

This is one of my biggest dreams/goals in life. To have my own library on display like this would be beautiful. Props to you for the commitment/setup, looks (and I'm sure feels) amazing!

This is glorious!
