Introductions! Who are you?

[Matt Platis]

Hello, everybody!

1) My name is carlos a.s. lising;

2) I was born in Chicago, Illinois, United States. I currently reside in Painesville, Ohio, United States;

3) I am currently 40 years of age;

4) My favorite Alan Davis work was his first run on Excalibur;

5) My first comic was Fantastic Four #159 ("Havoc in the Hidden Land"). My father taught me to read using comic books; I read that issue at the tender age of five! The first comic book I actually collected, however, was Uncanny X-Men #137. After that masterpiece, I was hooked;

6) I am the creator and administrator of The Earth-009 RPG, a role-playing game based around the Marvel Universe, using the old-school Marvel Super Heroes RPG as a basis for game play. I am married and have a cat named Suzette. I am a collector of original comic art. My favorite comic characters are Shadowcat, Magik, and Phoenix (the Rachel Summers version). I would tell you more, but I'm quite sure I've now bored you all sufficiently.

Thanks for having me on the board!

Welcome everybody to the Alan Davis forums!

We have about 30 members now, so I thought it would be good for everyone to get to know each other.

1) What is your real name? (c'mon, you have nothing to hide!)

2) Where you from?

3) How old are you?

4) What is your favorite Alan Davis work?

5) What was your first comic?

6) Anything else we should know about you?

1. My first name is Will and I will jut leave it at that for now LOL.

2.Tennessee, USA.

3. 27 years old.

4. Oh wow that's a good question.I haven't had a chance to check out everything he's done but I will have to say his most recent run on Uncanny X-Men. Especially the first arch where they fought the Fury.

5. From what I remember it was several issues of spider-man and it just happened to be Kravens last hunt story line and I couldn't even read yet but I remember looking at them over and over.

6. Well I just recently ordered from my local comic shop Excalibur Visionaries Alan Davis Vol 1 & 2 and am really looking forward to getting those and then I saw vol 3 in the marvel solicitations so have to get that one too. Oh and one day hope I will be fortunate enough to get a Rachel Summers pencil sketch.

Good stuff!

This is probably one of the most assessable artist message boards.

Hi everybody!

1) My name is Jose.

2) I was born in Eibar, a little city of the Basque country in Spain.

3) I am 36 years old.

4) My favorite Alan Davis’ work is Excalibur and, of course, Clan-Destine. I have got a drawing of both teams together that can prove it (I did it sixteen years ago ).

5) My first comic was Transformers number 10, but I do not remember its original numbering. It was 25 years ago.

6) Actually I started drawing thanks to Alan Davis and Rumiko Takahashi (nice couple) whom I have copied to saciety. Nowadays I go on drawing as a hobby. Thanks you both!

It is a pleasure!

My real name is my user name. I have nothing to hide, people! I'm 38 and from Detroit, though I currently live in the burbs. My favorite Alan Davis work will probably always be New Mutants Annual #2, even though we get a better version of Alan Davis with each new story he writes or illustrates. The first comics I remember buying were Secret Wars #8 and New Mutants #22 - December 1st 1984. The first black spidey costume and Bill Sienkiewicz art??? Aww yeah. I had, prior to that, read just about everything my older brothers owned; all of it Marvel. What else is there to know about me? I'm a collector of issues, and I'm cautiously dipping my toes into the original art collecting pool, which is what brought me here! Be gentle!

Also, that ronweasly guy is probably a neighbor of mine!

[Brett Harris]

G'Day fellow fans of the amazing Alan Davis !
I am...

1) Brett Harris. Yep, my ability to choose cool usernames for internet fora is pretty bad ! Having said that, I do have a blog called Comic Book Evangelist, so I suppose I can say that is my real internet name !

2) I am from Australia. I was born and bred in the industrial city of Newcastle in New South Wales and currently live on the other side of the country in Perth, Western Australia.

3) I am 41 this year, turning 42 in August. So probably way too old to be asking dumb questions on a forum site !

4) My favourite Alan Davis work is the Excalibur run he wrote and drew, issues 41-67. My all-time favourite Alan Davis issue is the all-splash page battle between Galactus and Phoenix in which we learn the true power source of the Phoenix Force. This was from, um, I think issue 61 ?
<Brett remembers he is on the internet and can check>......yep, 61.

5) My first comic ever was one my Babcia ("grandmother" in Polish) let me look at. It was an Archie comic - she learnt English words by reading Archie, Peanuts and (perhaps worryingly) Andy Capp - and I tore into it. Literally, as I was only two or three years old ! The first comic she bought for me was an Aussie reprint of a Batman comic and the first American comic I bought new from the shelf was Thor #388.

My first Alan Davis comic was X-Men Annual 11 and it was love at first sight ! The well-muscled Colossus, the tough yet vulnerable Psylocke, the never-say-die Wolverine and the hideous Horde had me reading each page again and again, in order to absorb the beauty of the art !

6) Nah, I reckon I have annoyed you all enough with my replies thus far, so will not subject you to any more of my ramblings !

Enjoy reading comics !
