After several years of working up the nerve, I packed up most of my "graphic novels" and took them to the public library. There, the hardworking Alex sorted through them over several days, set aside the ones which she was actually going to shelve, and called me to pick up the remainder (I wasn't going to donate them unreservedly, and have them wind up feeding some Friends of the Library 3/$1 table).
I'm going to miss the Superman Archives, the Batman Archives and other things Alex accepted. I'm going to wonder why she didn't take Kingdom Come or Somerset Holmes. But I'm going to feel really good seeing my books on the shelves.

I admire your noble act. I would have EBayed those bad boys.
The funniest thing is, I didn't by any means want to be rid of them. If I hadn't thought taking them to the Library was a good idea, I'd have been happy to hold onto them indefinitely.
