Q&A with Ivan R
| Q: | Which piece in your gallery is your favorite and why? |
| A: | Not an easy question.... I would say John Romita’s Captain America #142 splash page, because Romita is my favorite artist’s ever and because that page is a concentration of emotions, thrill, drama, love…. Just action is missing, but who cares?!?! |
| Q: | Please tell us a little about yourself. |
| A: | I'm a 48 year old comic art collector from Italy. I've been reading American and Italian comic books for as long as I can remember. I work for a Spanish petrochemical company. In addition to collecting comic books and original comic art, my other passions include running marathons and I'm a big fan of football (soccer). My favorite team is Inter Milan, of course! |
| Q: | How long have you been collecting comic art and what prompted you to start? |
| A: | I've always been a comic book and art lover. I bought my first original page 22 years ago at an Italian comic con. I try every day to improve the quality of my collection. I've made many mistakes over the past two decades. But right now I'm pretty satisfied with my collection and, as I said before, I continue to search for pages that stir my emotions. That emotional response, in my opinion, is the essence of art. |
| Q: | How do you display/store your collection at home? |
| A: | A few pieces from my collection are framed, but the rest are stored in portfolios. I try to look at my collection as often as possible, and share the artwork with other art collectors and friends. |
| Q: | What are your top five most wanted original pages or commissions? |
| A: | My top 5 wish list would include: - A Jack Kirby Thor page - A Sal Buscema page from Defenders #1 - A Steve Ditko Spider-Man page - A Walt Simonson page from Thor #337-367 - A Jim Steranko published Marvel page |
