Q&A with Miki Annamanthadoo

Q:	Which piece in your gallery is your favorite and why?
A:	Well, taking my grail piece out of the equation, it would be probably be the Ed Benes Supergirl 79 cover. After suffering through the interregnum where Kara Zor-El was absent from the DC Universe, I was extremely thrilled by the 'Many Happy Returns' story line by Peter David as he attempted to bring her back.

Q:	Please tell us a little about yourself.
A:	I recently retired and currently divide my time between art collecting, attending conventions, cataloging comics for the GCD (comics.org) and as a volunteer doing free tax preparation for low income families.

Q:	How long have you been collecting comic art and what prompted you to start?
A:	I saw my first comic art in 1977 when I attended Creation Convention in New York. Barry Smith was there with his Conan original art. There was also a comic shop in midtown that displayed comic art. I was just a poor college student at the time but I knew I wanted to one day own comic art. I bought my first piece from Supersnipe Comic Book Emporium in 1979.

Q:	How do you display/store your collection at home?
A:	I have my comic art in portfolios and a set of flat file drawers. I also have paintings framed and hung on the walls.

Q:	What are your top five most wanted original pages or commissions?
A:	Except for a few artists that I consider friends, I have stopped getting commissions. I am still basking in the landing my grail, so I haven't reset my goals yet.
