This auction is closed.
The bookcase purge for charity continues! You can see a complete list of all auctions here, in chronological order starting with the latest, here. Full auction details are included at the end of the article, but to bring the new folks up to speed real quick:
Every weekday until Friday, June 5th, we publish a new Shelf Bound article announcing a bind or bound set up for auction.
Each bind auction’s bidding starts when its article is published and ends 72 hours later, so today’s auction will close at 3 PM EST on May 28, 2020.
Bids must be posted in an item’s comment section to be considered for that item; highest bid posted before close of auction wins.
Bids from outside the U.S. are welcome, although shipping outside the U.S. may incur additional fee. Bids posted in currencies other than US dollars will be valued at their USD equivalent.
The winning bidder emails me (greg at multiversity comics dot com) to verify donation particulars, then makes the donation and send me verification.
I send out the bind.
Everyone wins.
30 weekdays. 34 binds. All proceeds going to charity. Sound good? Let’s get to it!

There’s a lot to love about the comics in this book.
There’s the nigh-miraculous transformation of Cable into a character I found myself actively following thanks to Joe Casey & James Robinson.
The Euro-Kirby visuals from Ladronn and the recently departed Juan Vlasco.
Just the fact the Harbinger of the Apocalypse fights Cable & The Avengers in a silk & mohair suit and silk shirt from Saville Row.
But aside from all that and a bunch more, in all honesty, the first thing popping into my head when someone mentions this run of comics is . . . a bagel burger and coffee.
Seriously.
So if you wanted to get a taste of these comics for yourself (sorrynotsorry), you COULD take the time & effort to track down the original issues or later collections and turn them into your own book via a binder using the techniques & approaches we cover every month in Shelf Bound . . .
OR!
You could bid on the bind we’re auctioning today, get the benefit of someone else doing all that work for you, AND do some good for the comics community we all love in the process!
