Worst offender of the under the bed archivists are comic collectors. Woefully unable to part with a single one of their paper pals, they keep them hidden safely, firmly out of sight. Which is a shame, since if you're going to bother collecting something you may as well display it. Well, fear not Beano bores - there's a way to display safe.

Young British Design duo Bombus have had a brainwave. Hand over your collection to them (c'mon, you can do it) and they'll present you with a Desperate Dan dining chair, an Incredible Hulk coffee table, or even a Wonder Woman wardrobe. Not only will their clever trademark 'decoupage' technique see your heroes dusted down and given a proper homecoming, but you'll bag yourself a nifty one-off bit of furniture into the bargain.

No way you'll get your comics stripped? The brilliant 'Big Bang' magazine table fits together to make a cartoon kapow - it may be cool to collect but it definitely pays to display.
