A good introduction to one one of the unheralded great comic artists (I think he prefers storyteller) of the current era. I will buy anything based on the basis of Alan Davis’s artwork.

[David Edmonds · Rating 3 out of 5]

A nice volume about comic book artist Alan Davis, who has been a favorite of mine since I first encountered his art in Uncanny X-Men back in the late 80s. Including an interview with Davis, the book is also filled with sketches, finished art, previously unseen art, a look at the artists that have influenced Davis over the years, as well as interviews with some of Davis' contemporaries. If you're a fan of the history of comic books and want a firsthand look into the life and influences of Alan Davis, this is the perfect book for you.

My respect for Mr Davis has grown even more, learning of his work ethic & methods.
