Q&A with Hans Kosenkranius

Q:	Which piece in your gallery is your favorite and why?
A:	Hands down my favorite gallery piece is the Avengers #16 cvr. by artists Jack Kirby and Sol Brodsky. The reason is 1965 was the year I went full-tilt into collecting Marvel Comics and this issue was hitting the stands about the same time I entered the hobby. This comic holds quite a bit of nostalgia for me.

Q:	Please tell us a little about yourself.
A:	I'm a retired public school teacher of thirty two years now enjoying this hobby full-time as a business. I own Tri-State Original Art, Inc.

Q:	How long have you been collecting comic art and what prompted you to start?
A:	I discovered comic art in 1986 while attending grad. school as a fledgling teacher and also working part time in a comic book store in Wilmington, DE. The store's owner had originals as did customers who frequented the establishment. Until this point, I was unaware any original comic book artwork existed. I became interested in finding pgs. from books I'd loved and collected as a kid.

Q:	How do you display/store your collection at home?
A:	My art is stored in mylar sleeves and/or Itoya folders inside portfolio cases. I've made high quality lithographs of some of my originals to display on the wall.

Q:	What are your top five most wanted original pages or commissions?
A:	I'd still like a Calvin and Hobbes daily by Bill Watterson, a ASM pg. by Steve Ditko, and a finished pen and ink drawing by Frank Frazetta.
