What is Alan Davis' best work?

I hate that "Blue Wave" suit and the present incarnation of that character, but that guy can paint. Those covers are really well done.

Last I've seen, he did some really brilliant stuff with P Craig Russel in an original Fables Graphic Novel that tells the backstory of Boy Blue.


And he also did a couple of Starman Time's Past stories featuring Scalphunter and Mikhal.

Here's Davis' Aquaman from the eighties.

ALAN: No, I'd been given the project, but I think that Aquaman was considered to be of low importance which was why l'd been given it in the first place. DC knew that I could do super-hero artwork from having seen "(Captain Britain" and "Marvelman." I had seen it as being important because I love the Aquaman character.

MM: He's always been one of my favorites, as well.

ALAN: And if I had been given a choice of any character to do at DC I would have gone for Aquaman.

MM: That's a little odd. Aquaman's probably not that high on many people's lists.

ALAN: Well, when I was a kid I could swim--I really enjoyed swimming and still swim now. You can fantasize about being Aquaman swimming because you've got that freedom of movement in water. Whereas you can't fly, so you're not Superman. Aquaman is the easier hero to imitate.
