Q&A with Joe A
| Q: | Which piece in your gallery is your favorite and why? |
| A: | Although it's tough to pick a favorite, it currently has to be the Matteo Scalera Dark Knight Returns commission. As one of my favorite artists currently working, I feel like he captured those characters so well. |
| Q: | Please tell us a little about yourself. |
| A: | I started reading comics in the late 80's with Classic X-Men being my gateway off a mall bookstore spinner rack. One of my first purchases after that was the Dark Knight Returns and I was hooked. Soon I was swept up in the early 90's explosion and the rest was history. I dropped out for a while and was lured back by Instagram posts from my favorite creators. I now tend towards reading and appreciating newer and less super hero books and creators. I love the craft of creating the books and tend towards interior pages that show off storytelling over splash pages and covers. |
| Q: | How long have you been collecting comic art and what prompted you to start? |
| A: | I have been collecting original art for a relatively short amount of time - only since 2019. I had fallen out of collecting single issues and became much more focused on the artists themselves. Original art collecting is the best way to have a connection with the artists themselves, and there's only one of that piece in the world! |
| Q: | How do you display/store your collection at home? |
| A: | I keep my art in portfolios that I browse through semi-regularly. |
| Q: | What are your top five most wanted original pages or commissions? |
| A: | Top on my list currently are a Darwyn Cook Parker spread and a Travis Charest Wildcats X-Men Golden Age page. I'd love to own the Steve Lightle cover to my first comic ever - Classic X-Men #30 but my holy grail would be a Dark Knight Returns page. My commission theme is Dark Knight Returns Batman and Carrie Kelley, so I hope to continue growing my collection of unique artists doing their take on these two. |
