Alan Davis is an artist that I have followed throughout his career. I remember being disappointed that my all-time favorite artist Jim Aparo had left art chores on Batman and the Outsiders, and wondering who this new British replacement was. I quickly learned to love his style as well and made a point to always check out his future endeavors. his work on JLA: The Nail as well as its sequel and Superboy's Legion is absolutely gorgeous. I really dug his Fantastic Four run too, I wish he had stayed with that team longer.
You say "Alan Davis" and I hear that moment in Blazing Saddles where they say "Randolph Scott".
ReplyDeleteThat's an awesome cover.
Alan Davis' work on Batman and The Outsiders and JLA: The Nail is awesome! I need to go re-read The Nail again, now!
I know you probably hear this about all your covers. But, I really wish there was a real-world comic to go with this cover! The story would probably out-do the Silver Age (Steve Ditko?) tale where Doctor Strange went up against Loki's astral body.
ReplyDeleteP.S.---How about Hulk/Spectre, next?
ReplyDeletebeen following for years. this is one of my favorites ever, great work!
ReplyDeleteThank you , anonymouses!
ReplyDeleteI remember Alan Davis on Excalibur, which led me to a trade paperback of Captain Britain comics that were great too.
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely another of your best, as well as being a team-up I never realized I really, really want to see.
ReplyDeleteWould the plural of "anonymous", used as a noun, be "anonymice"?
ReplyDeleteAlso, cryogenically cool cover.
Awesome cover!
