About a year ago while downsizing my collection, I was bitten by the radioactive-binding-bug giving me powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men... I realized that I had the power to transform my comic book collection into big, beautiful, custom designed hardcover volumes bursting with all of my favorite four-color adventures and thus was the Origin Story a new hobby that combined my favorite things: Comics, Art & Design
Not only is it amazingly fun but it's allowed me to reduce my collection, get the rest out of the long-boxes onto the bookshelf and have them at arms reach easily accessible in the event of a those frequent comics withdrawal emergencies.
I just love designing these books and the freedom to choose the comics I want in them and adding extras like Cover galleries is just awesome. I'm not a "collector", I'm a fan and I would never sell these comics anyway, so their "monetary value" is irrelevant. Having a unique, one-of-a-kind custom bound volume of my favorite comics is worth much more to me than a box of comics in bags in the basement.
I realize many "collectors" will gasp in horror feeling the comics have been "destroyed" but they've just been transformed into a different format complete with Letters Pages, Ads and Back Covers (most of the time), and are on the original newsprint and not glossy paper or garishly re-colored.
Hopefully, Comic Binding Fans will enjoy viewing them and Comic Collector's won't pass out after witnessing all the carnage of precious collectibles.
I'm currently working on a few binds so check back once in a while as I'll add more when I can.
Thanks for visiting!!!
