Time for a post that only a geek could write. Well, not “could” so much as “would.”<\/p>\n

So I’ve decided that I should convert my comic book collection away from 28-page pamphlets and towards bound books. I keep all my bound comics on one seven-foot bookcase. Lately (damn you Ebay!) I’ve run out of room, causing me to ask the question: Which comic books, or comic book creators, are taking up the most shelf space?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Doonesbury <\/a>– 16.25 inches.\n
  2. Cerebus <\/a>– 15 inches.\n
  3. Pogo <\/a>– 13.75 inches.\n
  4. Osamu Tezuka<\/a> (mostly Adolph<\/i> and Pheonix<\/i>) – 7.75 inches\n
  5. Usagi Yojimbo <\/a>– 7.5 inches\n
  6. Rumiko Takahashi <\/a>(mostly Ranma<\/i>) – 7.5 inches\n
  7. Alan Moore<\/a> (various) – 6.5 inches\n
  8. Calvin and Hobbes <\/a>– 6 inches\n
  9. Neil Gaiman<\/a> (mostly Sandman<\/i>) – 6 inches\n
  10. Peanuts <\/a>– 4.5 inches\n
  11. Will Eisner <\/a>– 4.5 inches\n
  12. Dykes to Watch Out For <\/a>– 4 inches\n
  13. Bone <\/a>– 4 inches\n
  14. Scott McCloud <\/a>– 3.5 inches\n
  15. For Better or For Worse<\/a> – 3.5 inches<\/ol>\n

    After that, it’s all a mish-mash.<\/p>\n

    For now, I’m going to shelve some of the Pogos <\/i>and then some of the Doonesburys <\/i>elsewhere. In the long run – perhaps a bigger bookcase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
