The next piece of art has been hung in the gamesroom stairwell - my treasured George Perez poster of the New Teen Titans.
Dating from 1983, this poster was originally Blu-tacked to the back of my bedroom door when I still lived at home with my parents and features my all-time favourite superheroic team of crime fighters - the Teen Titans from the era of Marv Wolfman and George Perez.
This was the comic book title that first got me into seriously collecting comics and remains, for me, a benchmark of what can be achieved with superpowered crime-busters.
The poster was frayed round the edges, stained and faded but the picture framers did a good job of concealing the edges while the ageing effects just emphasis the poster's history to me.
Meanwhile, the rest of the gamesroom is looking increasing like one of the "honey-holes" that Mike and Frank visit on American Pickers, in their never-ending quest for "rusty gold".
I'm trying to dissuade Rachel from coming up here at the moment as I expect she would be less than impressed by the state of chaos that reigns in the gamesroom - compared to the rest of her well-organised house!
However, I'm still persisting in publishing pictures of my mess, so that once it's all cleaned up and everything is just how I want it I can then "compare and contrast" the before and after shots.
Wow, and I thought my room was a mess. Well it is, but I am glad I am not the only one.
ReplyDeleteI'm not proud of the state that it's degenerated into recently - but I'm hoping by making the pictures public it will spur me on to clear it up quicker ;) Well, that's the theory...
DeleteGuessing the poster is from the pre Nightwing period? :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, about a decade before Dick retired 'Robin' and became 'Nightwing'.
DeleteThat room is full of goodness. Nice. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, George. There is a lot of goodness in there - but also, currently, a lot of crap as well and it's the sortin' that's going to take time ;)
