I still remember when Alan Davis took over the art chores on Batman and the Outsiders. At first I was not happy to see my favorite artist, Jim Aparo, be replaced, but I soon began to really appreciate Davis' unique style. When he went over to Marvel to work on the X-Titles, he really began to blow up in popularity, and deservedly so. My favorite works by him are the two JLA: The Nail mini-series, just spectacular work there.

I agree about Aparo. But, who's Horde?
(Yay! Now I really am first in line!)
He was kind of like the Marvel version of Mongul.
The other Davis work I really enjoyed was Superboy's Legion.
Since Mogul is just a reskinned version of Darkseid wouldn't that make Horde the Marvel version of Thanos? :)
@Kid Kyoto: Actually, Mongul's skin is more of a chalky yellowish-white. It's Trigon (Raven's father and the DC version of Dormammu) who's red-skinned.
Ditto on The Nail and Superboy's Legion. Always liked his version of Killraven, also.
Later on when he was mostly doing only covers, he was the one I was most disappointed when the interior art was somebody else.
Sign me up under J.J. Couldn't agree more.
Ross, how would you team up Daredevil + Deadman?
Will some critics of Time's Man of the year Greta Thunberg intentionally spell her last name "Punberg", based on a Mediaeval Germanic orthography ("th" used to be spelled with the letter "thorn", which resembled the letter "p" and was used in (early) Roman letter Mediaeval Germanic languages)?
i love Davis’ work on Excalibur!!
HHH, how about Superman and Krypto meeting Wallace and Grommit.
@Anon309: so HALLOWEEN 6 was almost subtitled "The Curse of Porn?"
Instead of "The Curse of Thorn?"
@Carycomic: deja vu, much?
Thanks, Anon. But, I've already erased the doop.
