Well, if you ask me... and you just did... it would have to be my World's Finest #215 cover by Nick Cardy. Got it from Albert Moy at the 1995 Comic-Con. As a cover, it speaks for itself, capturing DC's Big 2 and teenage rebellion. And it was drawn by Nick Cardy. Back then, I didn't have an "official" favorite artist. But I really liked Nick's art. We've become friendly over the years. Hero worship prevents me from calling him a friend, you know what I mean. Anyway, I think I got the comic in one of those DC 3-packs. The story was really cool. Art wise, the interiors by Dick Dillin and Henry Scarpelli was a weird mix. Loved the sideburns on Superman Jr.

I'm 40-ish and pretty low-key; CAF is just about my only "on-line" presence. I can't tell you much more. Unless Wonder Woman has me in her golden lasso.

Somehow, I think collecting comic art is the next step after getting comics signed.

My very first art purchase was in the early 1980's. It was the Deadman drawing by Mike Nasser/Netzer in my Nasser gallery. After that, I got the Deadman sketch by Neal Adams on view in my Sketches/Commissions gallery. Then a couple random purchases. Then the slippery slope. There was a time when I buying art from Mitch Itkowitz on frequent basis.

When I had less than 10 pieces, they were in clear bags that I clipped to a large piece of cardboard that was folded in thirds. Every once in a while, I'd unfold the cardboard and look at my personal museum.

Currently, I don't display any art. In general... 11 x 14 pieces are in portfolios or the usual Itoyas. Standard comic art is in sleeves kept in a few Cisco router boxes I scavenged from the office. Larger art is in portfolios.

I'm going to take a few liberties with this...
