Ilke's Davis Update
ITEM!
Comics Values Monthly #75 (November 1992) cover features a Davis/Neary illustration of Captain Britain. This art (possibly the first collaboration between Davis and Neary) first appeared in the UKCAC85 Convention Book (I believe) and was part of a drawing featuring Captain Britain and Captain America.
This image of Captain Britain also appeared (in b & w) in Captain Britain #12, accompanying the 'Mastermind Specification Scan' profile of CB.

David Bishop's Thrill-Power Overload, which includes an interview with Alan Davis, arrives in comic shops on July 18th, as noted on Diamond's shipping list.
http://www.diamondcomics.com/shipping/s ... 071807.txt
Below is an excerpt of an interview with Bishop from http://dogmatika.com/dm/features_more.p ... 04_0_5_0_M :
Darran Anderson [DA]: Thrill Power Overload has just been released, was compiling the history of 2000AD a satisfying experience or a masochistic one?
David Bishop [DB]: Both. Thrill Power Overload started life as a series of articles to celebrate the comic's 25th anniversary. It grew into a massive hardcover book that's coming out this year to mark 2000AD's 30th anniversary. I've been working on TPO for six years now, conducting more than a hundred interviews and transcribing thousands of hours of conversations with writers, artists and editorial team members. You don't do all of that if you don't love your subject, but it also requires a certain masochistic bloody mindedness to keep going. There's an amazing affection for the Galaxy's Greatest Comic among those who've worked for it, and that made my task easier - people wanted to talk about their time on the comic, and had fond memories of that time. I hope that shines through in the book.
