If you want to be nondestructive:

1) Download the comics

2) Bust 'em up in Photoshop

3) Decoupage them

4) Take 'em to Kinko's, which does large-format printing for like a dollar a square foot

That's a very 21st century way of doing things. Where's the fun in that? :P

rezzeJ and thenewgreen, I'll shout you guys out here just because this part contributes to the conversation we were having earlier. I just got home from going to one of my comic shops today, raiding their fifty cent long boxes and just shooting the shit with the owner. I was picking through a lot of these books, mostly from the '90s and mostly terrible (hence them being in the fifty cent long boxes) and I was pulling up issue after issue that were all parts of horrible story archs, thinking “No one will read these again.” Suddenly, I felt like by buying these crappy issues, neglected issues that no one wants and doing something with them, I'm giving them slightly more value than if they were just to sit in a box taking up retail space. I think maybe, I'll be careful about what I cut up, but I'll also make sure to not feel so bad about what I do.

Well, I think you have your choices there.

Either don't actually destroy them, or destroy them - 's kinda the breaks.

Why do the things we love hurt us so? :(
