Q&A with Peter Marino

Which piece in your gallery is your favorite and why?

Easily my Invisibles Vol 3 Issue 1 title splash. This was my dream page from one of my favorite series ever. Somehow I was lucky enough to get it!

Please tell us a little about yourself.

Generic comic art collector, mid-40's, father of 2 and in IT.

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

I started about a decade ago. My beginnings of collecting OA started with looking for gifts for the groomsmen of my wedding. I wanted to give each one of them a 1 of a kind item that represented something that i remember about our friendship and made it special. through that search found comic art (and bought a few things) and a passion (obsession) was born.

How do you display/store your collection at home?

Most of my collection is in archival boxes, with about a dozen items displayed around the house.

What are your top five most wanted original pages or commissions?

If we're dreaming: 1) Art Adams' cover for Fantastic Four 347 2) Cover to Rifts RPG by Keith Parkinson 3) Jim Lee and Scott Williams gate-fold cover to X-Men 1 4) McFarlane ASM 323 Cover (i'm a sucker for a cap crossover) 5) Alpha Black lotus painting.
