Which piece in your gallery is your favorite and why?

Batman #400 Joe Kubert short story page 1. I see all the talent of Kubert for composition and storytelling. This is a perfect introduction.

Please tell us a little about yourself.

Born and raised in Belgium. Read my first translated comic book when i was 4 years old. I enjoy Marvel, DC, Vertigo, Image series. An avid reader, I became a comic book journalist for more than 20 years, as I loved to share my enthusiasm for the medium. I became comic art dealer in 2014. Since 2018 I'm the manager of the brick and mortar Comic Art Factory gallery, bases in Brussels. Our website : https://wwww.comicartfactory.com

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

Started in the mid 2000's. a few Spider-Man and Silver surfer pages and some pages from the Green lantern series, as Kyle Rayner was my favourite GL.

A few pieces framed, the other stored in portfolio's, and I'm lucky enough to see a lot of pieces, framed or not, in the comic art gallery I manage.
