... and I can't seem to find any comic book sized ones, just magazine-sized ones like the one below.

Click for full size

I realize there's really no call for comic book spinners anymore, but I was wondering if anybody knew of an online source for them. There's nothing wrong with the magazine-sized one, I guess, but if I can get a real one from like back in the day, that would be better.

Sorry I can't be much help, but that's a great idea, Darin.

Arrgh! So you're not really getting one yet are you? Darn, I was hoping for a lead on one. Comic book spinner racks are hard to find... I've been looking too.

The small countertop version is a good choice for homes which don't have a dedicated media room:

Your local comic shop should be able to order one for you, I think. My guy told me he could get one for me whenever I was ready for it.

In 2002 I surfed the display fixture companies on the web until I found someone in Tennessee that was selling them. Unfortunately I think they went out of business or stopped carrying them (I was going to load up on them and sell them for a profit).

But your best bet for a new rack would be to surf the display fixture companies. Or look for a used display fixture guy in your area, you may luck out.

Yeah, but you're Wayne Osborn, Esq. You own a mansion and a yacht.

I've been looking through the sites of our usual library suppliers, Gaylord Brothers and DEMCO. They both offer a variety of spin rack displays. I haven't found anything that's exactly like a classic comic book wire spin rack, but there are a couple of items that are in the ballpark:

It's okay to click the second link, Darin. She's not trying to trick you or anything.

It is a trap, Darin. You see a naked Hispanic guy and are automatically registered as a Green Party member.

Don't click it!
