• Quotes

  • "[T]he drive to make 'improvements' in my art were to better accommodate what I wanted to achieve in storytelling... It's the difference between drawing [an]... image of a man in a Batman costume (for instance) as opposed to trying to capture the essence of the Batman. The enjoyment of working in comics is the challenge of trying to do just that."Official Alan Davis Forum: "Hello Mr Davis." Post (August 6, 2005)
