So...many...comix

I work for a special collections library. In 2002, the Edwin and Terry Murray donated their insane comic book collection to us. Because of the sheer size of the collection, and the fact that prevailing wisdom in 2002 was to leave the comics mostly in the order they were received, the sweet, sweet comix have been almost undiscoverable since 2003. As an example, it is only possible to identify titles at the decade-level. If you wanted to find an issue from 1984, you'd have to request every box that contains X-Men titles from the 1980s. The good news: we're finally cataloging the titles individually. My job has absolutely nothing to do with this project, but I spent two hours today helping rehouse individual issues. Here are a few photos of (mostly X-titles from the 80s and 90s) I came across today.

The people running the project are hopefully going to tweet/post in other social forums updates from the project as it develops. There will be some sort of organizing hashtag that I'll post here when they decide on it. My suggestions for it included #CrisisOnInfiniteBibRecords and #MurraYaybo, but who knows if they'll go for either of those.
