What's the best way to store comics?

I'm not talking about how to preserve them (slip-pockets, cardboard reinforcers, etc... I don't need any of that). I mean as far as shelving/racks/boxes etc goes? At the moment, my Archie Sonic comics are in a cabinet, standing. But it's not very effective; they keep falling over and sagging.

I wanna be able to get at them easily, but also store them in a presentable way (ie, not just in a pile in the corner). Any ideas? Anything available for the purpose?

I'd also like a decent way to store my magazines. So I figured I'd throw it out there :P

I use those stackable plastic shelf units and I keep all my comics in those. They lie flat and thus are never bent or otherwise damaged. I store my magazines the same way. In fact, I even store many of my books in them. I love those things.

Well, if you want to display them it's hard to to put them in a situation where they're harder to get at when you wanna look at them. My suggestion would be, for a nice way to preserve and present them and a slightly easier way to get at them would be to get a big, hard cover three ring binder (you know the type were you can customize the cover by making one on the computer, and printing it out and slipping it under the plastic on the front. Then get those plastic slip pockets that go into three ring binders and slip the comic in in order, then you can stand the binder upright, even have it splayed open so you can see the comics inside. Other than that, I've got nothing n.n;

Get some of those big binder clips and make stacks of 7 or 8, but make sure to put some kind of pad or cloth between the clips and the magazines so they don't get dented.
