Alan Davis was the first artist I started to recognize while growing up. Of British origin, Mr. Davis started his work, as many English comic book artists do, working for the science fiction anthology 2000 A.D. The incredibly polished look of his pencilling attracted many American publishers, and while starting most of his work for DC, Mr. Davis has spent most of his time pencilling many different titles for Marvel including high profile runs on X-Men, The Avengers, and perhaps most famously Excalibur. Although not working on a monthly basis at the moment, his guest stints will spike the sales of certain titles, and are always rife with critical praise. Not only for his artwork, but also for his quirky sense of humor. Who else could write an issue where the climax is a giant pie fight. At any rate, he's a favorite of mine.
