Q&A with shaun clancy

Which piece in your gallery is your favorite and why?

The cover to Captain Marvel #49 as it was among the first comics I ever bought off the newsstands.

Please tell us a little about yourself.

I've been collecting comics since 1977 and started collecting golden age around 1995. I ventured into collecting original art in 1997 and then moved into researching and writing about the people who created comics and have been published in titles like Alter Ego, Back Issue, The Comicbook Artist, The Comics Journal, Comicbook Creator, Retrofan, etc.

How long have you been collecting comic art and what prompted you to start?

I started in June 1997 and the first piece I ever bought was a Hawkman color commission from Sheldon Moldoff for $200 and was hooked ever since.

How do you display/store your collection at home?

Some are on my walls in frames but most are in art portfolios as I have 1,000 pieces.

What are your top five most wanted original pages or commissions?

Avengers Annual #7 cover (I know it's on this website), the cover to Warlord #7 (I know who has it), Seven Seas #4 Cover by Matt Baker, New Teen Titans #16 page 12....been looking awhile and the splash page to Warlord #7.
