I know Young is selling a print of the cover at shows. Maybe you could contact him.

Found his website but it appears he isn't selling prints online. He does sell a little bit of stuff and he posts the sketches he makes, but nothing for that image except for showing an image of it. I did see he does sketches of TMNT that are ridiculously cute/awesome that I now want...

You could ask him on Twitter.
Also, he used to do daily sketches that he sold for $100. I was tempted many times.

If I had known I'd have grabbed one at C2E2. He had them there. I didn't just because the top third where the AVX logo goes is blank all around. So there's a huge lank strip across the print I didn't care for.

Aww man... Your comic room looks so cool. That Sinister Six statue is awesome.

Also nice job on the spinner rack.

My mom bought me the sandman for Christmas one year, and told me she would get me the rest as they came out.

I don't think she realized what she getting into with all 7 statues.

It does look great, though.

Do any of you guys have a comic room set up? I would be curious to see them!

I have one that doubles as my office for when I have to grade bigger essays. It has a few posters and some art along with all of my trades and comics in it. It's still a bit of a mess from when I moved in though.

Holy shit that thing holds a lot of comics.

1 long box and a half in 4 of the 5 sides. And those 4 sides aren't even completely full.

I'd estimate it holds 400-500 comics, bagged and boarded.

I didn't really like the archie pockets all that much, until I realized they held all my badges from conventions perfectly.

That is so awesome!! I also love the framed comics.
No comics room for me.

I had a comic room complete with posters, some statues and old AF's, but due to space constraints its been turned into a storage room. I had 12 medium sized boxes which now sit snugly in a closet under my basement stairs. All my posters have been rolled up and the AF's have been packed away. The only things I have out are two bookshelves filled with my trades and a half bookshelf that I keep the floppies I'm currently collecting.

It'll probably be several months to a year before I can create a new comic room.

Traded in some of the New 52 for a decent copy of Uncanny X-Men 41. Also, put the following issues on hold as payment for running the store while the owner is at Origins in Colombus for 4 days:

Uncanny X-Men 35, 36, 38

All in decent shape. 35 is the Spider-Man cover and if I recall the first appearance of Changeling. I was going to get a beautiful copy of UXM 9 but he sold it this weekend at a show. So the rest are elf to prevent that now. Can't blame him tho as it was a $100+ book.

He also just got in some Silver Age Marvel, and apparently Uncanny X-Men 49 was in it. It's in medicore shape he said, but he's added it to my 'for work' pile. Now I also have the first Polaris and Mesmero if I want it.
