==Career==
===UK work===
[[File:Amazingheroes.jpg|thumb|right|170px|Cover of ''[[Amazing Heroes]]'' #85 (Dec 1985) by Alan Davis]]
Davis began his career in comics on an English [[fanzine]]. His first professional work was a strip called ''The Crusader'' in ''[[Frantic Magazine]]'' for [[Dez Skinn]]'s revamped [[Marvel UK]] line.{{sfn|Nolen-Weathington|2003|pp=49–52}}

Davis's big break was drawing the revamped [[Captain Britain]] story in ''[[The Mighty World of Marvel|Marvel Superheroes]]''. At the time, he was working full-time in a warehouse in [[Corby]] doing work that included loading trucks. He initially had no interest in pursuing a career in comics, as he considered drawing to be a hobby.<ref name=XMenArchives>Davis, Alan (w). "Stick with it, it gets better!", ''X-Men Archives Featuring Captain Britain'' #1 (July 1995), Marvel Comics (New York City), p. 4.</ref> Due to his inexperience, Davis did not leave enough room for [[word balloon]]s in the five-page first installment, so it had to be recut to six pages.<ref name="back29">{{cite journal|last=Lowrey|first=Nigel |title=The Saga of Captain Britain|journal=[[Back Issue!]]|issue=29|pages=35–43 |publisher=[[TwoMorrows Publishing]]|date=August 2008|location=Raleigh, North Carolina}}</ref> Afterwards, [[Alan Moore]] took over writing duties on ''Captain Britain''. Davis drew 14 issues of the monthly ''Captain Britain'' title, which was later reprinted in trade paperback.{{sfn|Nolen-Weathington|2003|pp=45–47}} Davis and Moore formed a close working partnership as creators; they also created [[D.R. and Quinch]] for ''[[2000 AD (comics)|2000AD]]''.{{sfn|Nolen-Weathington|2003|pp=39–42}} Later, Davis replaced [[Garry Leach]] on ''[[Marvelman]]'' in ''[[Warrior (comics)|Warrior]]'' and yet again worked with Moore.{{sfn|Nolen-Weathington|2003|pp=35–40}} He also drew the story "Harry Twenty on the High Rock" in ''2000AD''.{{sfn|Nolen-Weathington|2003|pp=38–39}}

Davis created the illustrations used by the [[Post Office Limited|Post Office]] in their 2019 Marvel [[commemorative stamp]] set.<ref name=Stamp>{{cite news |title=Avengers assemble in superheroic fashion|work=Stamp Magazine |publisher=My Time Media |date=April 2019 |pages=20–21|volume=85|number=4|issn=0307-6679}}</ref> The set included ten stamps featuring individual superheroes as well as a [[miniature sheet]].<ref name=Stamp />

===American work===
In 1985 Davis received his big break in the United States when he was hired by [[DC Comics]] to draw ''[[Batman and the Outsiders]]'', written by [[Mike W. Barr]]. Davis took over from [[Jim Aparo]], who launched the [[direct market]] version of the title.{{sfn|Nolen-Weathington|2003|pp=61–65}} His work proved popular enough for him to be assigned artistic duties on DC's flagship title ''[[Detective Comics]]'' in 1986, again with Barr writing.{{sfn|Nolen-Weathington|2003|pp=62–64}} During the "[[Batman: Year Two]]" storyline, however, Davis encountered difficulties with his editor and left after the first issue of the four-issue storyline. The remaining three issues were illustrated by [[Todd McFarlane]]. In the story, which featured [[Joe Chill]], the murderer of Batman's parents, Barr wanted Chill to have a large gun. He asked Davis to draw him with a [[Mauser]] with an extended barrel, similar to the one used by the [[Paul Kirk version of Manhunter]].{{sfn|Nolen-Weathington|2003|p=66}} However, after Davis rendered Chill with this firearm throughout ''Detective Comics'' #575 and on its cover, he obtained copies of the pages for ''Batman'' #404 by [[Frank Miller]] and [[David Mazzucchelli]], which was scheduled to be released months before the "Year Two" storyline, and saw that Chill was depicted using a smaller handgun without the extended barrel. When asked by editorial to redraw the gun in his artwork, Davis refused. [[Dick Giordano]] redrew the gun in the artwork.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2014/11/21/comic-book-legends-revealed-498/ |title=Comic Book Legends Revealed #498 |last=Cronin |first=Brian |date=21 November 2014 |website=[[Comic Book Resources]] |access-date=26 November 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141125043935/http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2014/11/21/comic-book-legends-revealed-498/ |archive-date=25 November 2014}}</ref>

Davis accepted an offer by ''[[Uncanny X-Men]]'' writer [[Chris Claremont]] to work on [[Marvel Comics]]' ''X-Men'' books. With Claremont, Davis drew two ''[[New Mutants]] Annuals'' and three issues for ''Uncanny X-Men''. In 1987 the duo launched the monthly series ''[[Excalibur (comic book)|Excalibur]]'',{{sfn|Nolen-Weathington|2003|pp=63–65}} which featured a team consisting of Captain Britain and [[Meggan (character)|Meggan]] together with former X-Men members [[Kitty Pryde]], [[Nightcrawler (character)|Nightcrawler]] and [[Rachel Summers]]. The stories, set in England, saw appearances by many characters from Moore's and Davis' ''Captain Britain'' stories of the early 1980s, including the Crazy Gang and the [[Technet (comics)|Technet]]. Davis' pencils were inked by [[Paul Neary]] and, later, [[Mark Farmer (comics)|Mark Farmer]].{{sfn|Nolen-Weathington|2003|pp=68–71}} Davis left with issue 24 due to deadline pressures, but returned with issue 42, this time also as writer.<ref name="back29"/> During this second run, according to Davis, "[Editor] [[Terry Kavanagh]] spoiled me, gave me near total freedom, and encouraged me to experiment."<ref name="back29"/> Among the new characters he created for his second run on the title were [[Feron]], [[Cerise (comics)|Cerise]], [[Micromax]] and [[Kylun]].

[[File:ClanDestine.jpg|thumb|left|270px|''[[The ClanDestine]]'', created by Davis for [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] in 1994]]
In 1994 Davis created a new series of original characters called the [[ClanDestine]], which featured the Destines, a family of long-lived, magically powered British superhumans.{{sfn|Nolen-Weathington|2003|pp=72–73}} Davis wrote and penciled the title for the first eight issues. He departed after issue 8, and the series was canceled with issue 12. In 1996 Davis wrote and drew the two issue crossover miniseries ''X-Men and The ClanDestine''.{{sfn|Nolen-Weathington|2003|pp=73–76}}

In 1991, Davis reunited with writer Barr to draw the sequel to "Year Two", the one-shot ''[[Batman: Full Circle]]''.{{sfn|Nolen-Weathington|2003|pp=69–71}} During much of the 1990s Davis drew many of Marvel and DC Comics major characters and titles, including ''[[JLA: The Nail]]''{{sfn|Nolen-Weathington|2003|pp=75–77}} and ''[[Avengers (comics)|The Avengers]]''.{{sfn|Nolen-Weathington|2003|pp=79–82}} He was also commissioned to write both main X-Men series in 1999 (providing art for ''X-Men'' as well), but he left the following year.

Starting in October 2002 he wrote and drew for Marvel ''[[Killraven]]'', a six-issues miniseries revamping the title character of the 1970s. After a return to ''Uncanny X-Men'', working again with Claremont, Davis wrote and drew in 2006–2007 a six-issue ''[[Fantastic Four: The End]]'' [[Limited series (comics)|limited series]] for Marvel<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.cbr.com/alan-davis-moves-from-the-x-men-to-fantastic-four/ |title=Alan Davis Moves from the X-Men to Fantastic Four |date=25 May 2005 |website=[[Comic Book Resources]] |access-date=19 September 2008}}</ref> (not to be confused with a similar one-shot written by [[Stan Lee]] and drawn by [[John Romita Jr]]). In February 2008, Davis wrote and pencilled a five-part ''ClanDestine'' miniseries and the one-shot ''[[Thor (Marvel Comics)|Thor]]: Truth of History'' for Marvel.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.newsarama.com/comics/080829-DavisThor.html |title=Alan Davis on Thor: Truth of History |last=Ekstrom |first=Steve |date=29 August 2008 |website=[[Newsarama]] |access-date=19 September 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081121164041/http://www.newsarama.com/comics/080829-DavisThor.html |archive-date=21 November 2008}}</ref> Davis most recent work has been in ''Totally Awesome Hulk'' (#7–8, 2016), the [[Thanos]] Trilogy (2018–2019)<ref>{{cite web |url=https://bleedingcool.com/comics/thanos-infinity-conflict-jim-starlin-alan-davis/ |title=Thanos to Fight His Own Future in Thanos: The Infinity Conflict by Jim Starlin and Alan Davis |last=Johnston |first=Rich |date=22 March 2018 |website=[[Bleeding Cool]] |access-date=22 March 2019 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210126031757/https://bleedingcool.com/comics/thanos-infinity-conflict-jim-starlin-alan-davis/ |archive-date=26 January 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://bleedingcool.com/comics/jim-starlin-alan-davis-thanos-infinity-ending/ |title=Jim Starlin and Alan Davis's Thanos: The Infinity Ending Gets a Description |last=Johnston |first=Rich |date=21 March 2019 |website=Bleeding Cool |access-date=22 March 2019 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210125172936/https://bleedingcool.com/comics/jim-starlin-alan-davis-thanos-infinity-ending/ |archive-date=25 January 2021}}</ref> and a reunion with [[Roy Thomas]] in 2019 for two issues of ''[[Savage Sword of Conan|The Savage Sword of Conan]]'' (#10–11, volume 2).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://bleedingcool.com/comics/roy-thomas-alan-davis-savage-sword-of-conan-prequel-people-of-the-black-circle/ |title=A Look at Roy Thomas and Alan Davis' Savage Sword of Conan Prequel to People Of The Black Circle |last=Johnston |first=Rich |date=2 August 2019 |website=Bleeding Cool |access-date=2 August 2019 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200808150611/https://bleedingcool.com/comics/roy-thomas-alan-davis-savage-sword-of-conan-prequel-people-of-the-black-circle/ |archive-date=8 August 2020}}</ref>
