Q&A with Ted Latner
| Q: | Which piece in your gallery is your favorite and why? |
| A: | My favorite artists are Dave Cockrum, Steve Ditko and Gil Kane. My favorite piece on comicartfans is the cover to Inhumans #8 by Gil Kane. It's an iconic image that made a huge impression on me as a kid. I was really fortunate to be able to buy it in the early 2000's before prices skyrocketed. |
| Q: | Please tell us a little about yourself. |
| A: | I'm a Technology Project Manager from Queens, New York, living on Long Island with my wife and two kids. I started collecting comic books at a young age, but didn't discover original art until I was in my mid 20's. |
| Q: | How long have you been collecting comic art and what prompted you to start? |
| A: | I bought my first piece of comic art in 1995 from an ad in the back of Comics Buyers' Guide. I had been looking at those ads for a few years and thinking about it, but $200 seemed like a ton of money at the time. Little did I realize how much I would be spending just a few years later. My collecting really took off when the original art market hit the Internet in 1997 and 1998. |
| Q: | How do you display/store your collection at home? |
| A: | Mainly in portfolios, but I do have a few framed pieces. |
| Q: | What are your top five most wanted original pages or commissions? |
| A: | I've been fortunate to have met a lot of my collecting goals, but I'm always interested in the following: Dave Cockrum art from the 70's and 80's particularly: - Detailed 70's Marvel cover prelims (some of these almost look good enough to publish as is). - Dave Cockrum covers/splashes/pinups featuring the Sh'iar Imperial Guard or Starjammers. - Dave Cockrum Gulliver Jones pages from Monsters Unleashed #4. Hulk art especially: - Nice pages from the Peter David era particularly by Gary Frank (ideally inked by Mark Farmer or Cam Smith), Jeff Purves, and others - Nice Hulk pages featuring Hulk vs. Doc Samson - Incredible Hulk Covers under 10K (not a ton of those out there) Steve Lightle covers/splashes/pinups/nice pages from the 80's to 90's -- particularly anything from Marvel. Bill Everett 1970's Sub-Mariner page (pencils and inks) Gulliver Jones - nice pages by Gray Morrow, Gil Kane and other artists |
