Alternative Uses for Comic Books

by Gavin Jones Email

My comic book collection is taking over my life. Currently I have one room devoted to both holding my comic book collection, my other related goodies like statues, figures and artwork etc and for podcasting. The thing is I've got far too many comic books I don't read and will probably never read again...because you know...they were shit. I need some space before the Danger Room (what I like to call my comic book geek room, it's very dangerous don't you know) completely implodes in upon itself.

There are of course the sensible solutions: Sell them on ebay, pass them onto some young tyke so that they may start to enjoy comics and create a new fan in the process or simply throw them away. None of these solutions appeal to me though, I can't sell them on ebay because they're shit, I can't pass them onto some young tyke it wouldn't be fair because they're shit and the 'Collector' in me just won't let me throw them away.

So I've decided to find alternative uses for my comic books and this is where I need your help. Tonight whilst recording Sidekickcast Episode #31 I'm going to try Alternative Uses for Comic Books #1 (if Dan will let me) as a new little segway. We're going to play a game with my comic books that will hopefully be fun for all, those two people listening and us. What I need from you four people out there that read this blog (the website is doubly more popular than the podcast) are more suggestions for alternative uses for comic books. It can be anything at all and the best ones will make it into the podcast, you can leave your suggestions in the comments after this post or email me @ gavinjones@sidekickcomicsuk.com
