Summary

TwoMorrows Publishing proudly presents a new book series devoted to the top artists working in comics today! In Modern Masters Volume One, we explore the life and career of Alan Davis, with his longest, most in-depth interview to date. In 1982, Davis burst onto the British comics scene, earning numerous awards for his amazing artwork. American success soon followed with his work on Batman & the Outsiders and Detective Comics, and continues on such recent titles as X-Men and Justice League: the Nail, as well as the Spider-Man movie adaptation in collaboration with Stan Lee.

Also included are interviews with long-time collaborators Paul Neary (who provides the Foreword) and Mar
