Back in Iowa I actually had a den. One of my walls was large. I still got CBG every week and ordered SnapHappys from the comic shop just a block south of my childhood home in Omaha. The owner, Todd, manufactured them. Sadly, he no longer does. Not sure why, as it was a great product. Does anyone remember them ?
It was heavier gauge vinyl with a black reinforced border and snaps at the 4 corners. I hung them off of 3 nails from the top of the wall. They looked great !
As far as sunlight, yes, I've seen dealers, or bookstores, where they're clueless, and their 90's crap that no one wants to buy has been overpriced hanging there for years and looks horrible.
Another year or two and Susan and I are going to upgrade to a newer house with better storage. It's non-negotiable that I finally get my own den again. I'll get my comic art matted and framed and my wall of boxes will be wrapped with my own comic printed vinyl.
Actually, I'm thinking of looking at why those Snap Happys didn't survive.

With Election Day just around the corner, I voted for Captain America. After all, Cap himself nearly ran for president!

I voted "Gil Kane covers" because that just sounds like it'd be cool.

Speaking of comic walls (and not to outshine Pink's upcoming selection which I'm sure will be amazing and will make me wish I could convince my wife to have a wall) check out this kid's wall, it's just
R I D I C U L O U S:
How did he acquire such a wall? His dad owns a successful comic book shop. Lucky punk!

I actually subscribe to LeeKirbyDitko's youtube page. They've appeared on Comic Trips cross country adventure as well. Their collection is amazing. It has just about every Silver Age key and quite a few Golden Age ones too. He does flip throughs of some of the books he acquires so you get to see interiors too, which is kind of cool. It's a fun channel to check out if you like looking at comics you will never own  -M |

I think we need a little more info: if the Captain America covers are all by Kirby and/or Steranko then I would go for them without hesitation. And some of both Gene Colan's and Frank Miller's Daredevil covers might give them a run for their money. Gil Kane drew about a million covers, not all of which are great, but the best are up there with the very best anyone ever did.
Based on the choices in the poll I find it easier to be more decisive in a negative way: no Ms. Marvel and no Joker for me.

Well I am just going with the Gil covers I have...which is not many, but they are spread out over a variety of titles.

Here it is. Sadly, a number of Kane covers I own are not with me (at the parents home) so I did not have as many options as I would have liked.
