DescriptionWhat do you do when your all-time most coveted cover grail sells at auction for $90,000? Since I couldn't take out another mortgage on the house to buy it I did the next best thing: commission Alan Davis to do an homage of his own work.And I have to say I'm truly stunned by the results. It's such a close homage there's no questioning what piece it's based on but it's different enough to be a masterpiece all on its own. Many thanks to Paul for making the arrangements and my eternal gratitude to Alan for creating a true grail for my collection and for the decades of wonderful comics and fond memories in the pages of Excalibur.

Nice! And pure Davis pencils and inks too. See? Not every grail has to cost 90k. Congrats buddy!

Hah, you are very right my friend. We all have to collect within our limits and marriage arrangements :D
Hope all is well, appreciate you stopping by as usual!

Very exquisite with the naturally smooth flow of lines for the bodies, the adornments of a princess and for the sword and cape for the warrior. Having Nightcrawler with his dark and handsome look brings a lot of his swashbuckling swagger! The big moon and the square makes for an attractive background frame, while the small moon brings balance against the raised arm for a very pleasing composition.

Nightcrawler is indeed the finest swashbuckler in all of comics! Thanks for stopping by and for the kind words!

I don't think I've seen a bad commission from Alan but you're right, somenhow he really captured that Excalibur magic again on this one. Thanks for stopping by!
