Q&A with Michael Gidwitz

Which piece in your gallery is your favorite and why?

I like Alfred E Neuman playing darts and because it was my idea. I love the dead bird in the cage and Alfred's dog being pissed off.

Please tell us a little about yourself.

Not much to say about me except I don't collect anything anymore but love looking at all the art on the walls that I still have in my collection.

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

I started collecting comic art in my early 40's because I wondered in to Christies East when I was on vacation in New York City. Christies East was previewing a Comic Art Auction and I returned on the day of the auction and bought three or four pieces.

How do you display/store your collection at home?

All over the house.

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

Old Norman Mingo and Kelly Freas Mad Magazine Cover Art.
