Q&A with Greg McKee

Which piece in your gallery is your favorite and why?

Probably All-Star Comics #61 pg 20 by Giffen and Wood. All-Star was one of my favorite comics as a kid and I was very happy to get this page in a trade back in the mid-2000s. Of course, my Camelot 3000 pg, my Smith Golden Age page, Starman #3 pg 24, Tellos #2 pg 14, and a few others are close contenders.

Please tell us a little about yourself.

I've lived around Tennessee most of my life. I started reading comics when I was 4-5 and my uncle gave me a box of his old comics from the 60s that included JLA/JSA team-ups, THUNDER Agents, Avengers, Herbie, Metal Men, Metamorpho, Archie, Jerry Lewis, and various other books from every publisher. I quit reading comics when I went to college but started back in the 90s when I came across Morrison's Doom Patrol in a used bookstore. I mostly just buy HC collections now.

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

I started around 2000. I went to a small comic convention in Nashville that had Drew Geraci as a guest. I bought some Dusty Abel Superman/Wonder Woman pages out of his $5 stack because I thought they looked cool. Soon after, I discovered eBay and started going to more cons and amassed a large collection of art.

How do you display/store your collection at home?

I am an ITOYA Portfolio type of guy.

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

Most of this is too expensive for me to buy but... 1970s All-Star Comics pages 1970s Sub-Mariner pages by Bill Everett Twilight pages by Jose Garcia Lopez Herbie pages by Ogden Whitney An Arthur Adams cover recreation
