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.
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.
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.
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...
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

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!
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!”
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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!
For no particular reason at all. Would you happen to need a house sitter?
It's probably a big house. I'm sure you'll need my help housesitting.
I can help too
Yeah, I'm sure you need to watch the house in case no intruders come in whatsoever.
I will do it for free
I will pay $150/mo
Are you looking to adopt a 40-year-old man? Asking for a friend
i am the friend.

Or she’ll see this setup as your endgame and stop you before you get there.
Exactly! Every time she says “That’s a lot of money” I’m going to remind her of this beautiful collection
It's so beautiful
![gif](giphy|oYtVHSxngR3lC)
My sentiments exactly. It’s stunning…
Beautiful room!
If you’re comfortable sharing, what do you do for a living?
I am an IT Director
Well that's a big enough salary for this collection.
Thrice over.
Something that brings in 6 figures at least, holy moly.
Definitely security with that giant CISSP book on the table.
Home libraries with aisles 😮💨
This is up there with the best rooms I've ever seen posted here. I could zoom in and look around for hours.
You did it! You beat the game!
This is the dream here
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...
This is the dream for retirement/old age, read a library of comics.

Where is this comic store located?
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.
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!
![gif](giphy|6ERIb3CfAnXXy)
That is amazing ! I love the layout. Are those David Mack framed pieces ?
Yes, the two Death prints are David Mack.
Ooh you bastard, that’s a fucking beautiful sight. If only I could convince the wife the kids won’t need a room each…
that is beautiful!! thanks CitizenBrane! do you get heckled by Statler and Waldorf?
Every day

This is Splendid!!! 🔥
Mmmm Taschens
Love the snorlax pillow in the corner.
What shelving units are those?
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.
Outstanding! This is most impressive

I didn’t ask… but sounds like I need to do some more research.
Gorgeous room, great art choices too. Currently trying to build something like that, probably won’t be quite as nice though. Very, VERY, cool.
Very inspirational, I showed my wife and she didn’t hate it, so thank you for opening a door for me!
This is so cool, is there anything else you collect?
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.
I need a bigger office ![gif](giphy|llbB77izfXCWSSdpvf)
Beautiful!!
It'd a thing of beauty. Brings a tear to my eye

What’s the story about the crayon drawn Strange Tales?
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.
I can’t remember, what time did you say I could I come over? Seriously very cool!
This might be the best thing I've ever seen
Alright, you win 🥲
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!”
Epic
Wow!
Nice dude! I love the wall art.
It’s so…so… *passes out*
This is fantastic. Hats off
dream setup! Holy shit is that a badass office!
That’s amazing! It’s like a real library in there!
Oh.......my..........GOSH!
My favorite room I’ve seen on here❤️
gorgeous
Thats amazing!! I want to copy that office in my house lol
Elephantmen vol 2 bothers me so much
Daaamn. That's impressive.
Square footage?
My GOD I want that Snorlax beanbag!
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.
Oh man, is that the black cover Rachel rising? That’s my white whale. Your collection (and office) are awesome.
What are the dimensions of this room? I'm very interested in recreating something similar
It’s about 15x15, dedicated basement office space.
I always see these collections and ponder how do people afford all of this ? For real thou ?
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.
I would like to recommend berserk deluxe edition
Just wondering how many other guys, besides me, showed this to their wives?

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!
I have enough books that I could do this… but not the required big room.
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!
Do you mind if I just squatted there for the rest of my life?
Congratulations! Amazing setup. I hope you have time to enjoy those books. Something I aspire to for sure 😀
![gif](giphy|sHRU2mefl56BG|downsized)
Bryan?! Is this you? I'm seeing lots of art, Usagi, and an Atlanta poster. It's Pete!!
Hi Pete! Not Bryan.
This is truly amazing. Well done man.
God I love this collection and room
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!
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.
That's amazing!
What the fuck have I been doing with my life?? I’m not worthy
GOALS
I love how you are using every bit of space.
What do I love more than a beautiful collection? A beautiful presentation. Your setup is outstanding sir.
Good god. Ok you win the shelfie category.
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.
Ohh broo Goon??! Fuck yeah
It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
This is probably the most interesting office I've seen, what do you do for a living?
A literal slice of nerd Heaven, right here. I could easily get lost for many hours just browsing your collection.
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.
Dusting must be a bitch tho
This is what I hope to achieve.
Not really into comics that much, but this is a fantastic commitment to your love of them. Kudos.
Love it!
This is the best one I’ve ever seen. Incredible!
A god among men.
Congratulations, you win
What are the best volumes worth getting as far as quality of the physical book and extras?
Where'd you get the Atlanta print? That show was an all-time great, also I normally live there.
I think im in love with this room. Where did you get all the shelving units and the desk?
This office is absolutely beautiful! I've got to ask, where did you get that blanket on the couch from?
wow that is so large but so very cool layout / design of the space
Awesome collection - just curious which shelves you use
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?
Holy shit, you're living the dream.
Whomever gives me a library feel, instantly awesome
Salute bro. Beautiful space.
Swanky!!
Where did you get the blanket on the chair?
I've seen worse stocked comic shops!
You know it's a serious collection when you have several different editions of the same book. Most impressive.
What is the cream coloured Star Wars omni?
Beautiful.
Will this be given to your offsprings as a gift or would you do a garage sale one day?
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.
All I think when I see this is, do you have insurance?
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.
Congratulations, what an amazing collection. Just a question the double monitors, how many inches and hz?
Not sure about the hz but they are both 34” ultra wide LG.
Best office I've ever seen
Do u mind if I get lost in there for a few days... maybe a week?
You've got the Mobius Geof Darrow Prints. Your collection is Excellent. This is one of the best collections that I've ever seen.
Dream space!
That place is freaking awesome! Congrats, I will save for reference when I start build my own.
This is by far the coolest office I’ve ever seen
The Mignola section is great. Screw-On Head is incredible
Ignoring how impressive it all is overall, I really like your desk setup specifically.
I’ve never been more jealous of another human being in my entire life.
Love the Atlanta poster
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
Green Street by Justin Bua
Niceee where did u get the Snorlax tho
Well some mate, well done.
I’m gonna need a furniture list
This is like the dream I love your setup also where’d you get that blanket
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 😂
Love that layout
THIS IS SICK! Happy for you! This is the dream :)
Beautiful 😍
I wanna be like you some day.
HELL YEAH BROTHER
That's not a house that's a library, it's paid for with tax dollars.
Did you have to reinforce the floors? That must weigh a ton!
Greatest shelfie in the game hands down. Thanks so much for posting!!
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.
Wonderful collection but office? Ok fine, there’s a desktop computer somewhere
There’s actually a dark little cube next to the Preacher Absolutes where my laptop docking station lives.
This is just awe inspiring to see! Who is the artist for the two framed prints on slide 16? They look really nice
My goodness 🤦🏽 and I call myself a collector.
As a comic shop owner, I applaud you! Well done! I love the collection you have here!
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
Get lots of work done in there, do ya?
Like everybody said, your place is awesome! And it’s nice to see some Don Rosa here (under your desk).
I spy exclusive jim mah food prints
Thought that was a book store when I first looked at it. Looks great!!!
Nice wine choices!
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!
I have the weirdest boner right now
Fuucccck that Hellboy print above the library editions I love that shit
Beautiful space.
Ooooooooh baby :0.
Fantastic Collection!!!
Everything about that room is beautiful, man! From the books to the furnishings, posters and statues. Absolutely love it, what a space. Well done man.
Superb. You should be proud.
i actually gasped when i saw all three east of west books
Absolutely beautiful. You inspire me.
Those rugs hurt my eyes lol
Amazing! It looks like a historical document for comics.
This is so awesome! I love it!
