Excalibur 61 Phoenix vs. Galactus (illustration)

I don't know the origin, but I do know that's a very cool page. Have you considered messaging Alan Davis or his art rep to ask? Congrats on a great page!

JH,

This is what I got from the offical Alan Davis website. 

“I'm afraid it just isn't possible to validate the authenticity of any page from a scan. The best we can suggest is for you to consult the Unpublished Pencils section of Alan's website. There are scans of the vast majority of Convention predraws Alan has drawn over the years so you can make your own comparison.  We always advise any collectors to follow the maxim Caveat Emptor and do not buy a page from anyone you do not trust. Sorry we cannot be more accommodating.

These are all pre con commissions he sells at cons to people interested, CAF is full of them.

Whatever it was for it's a great piece. I loved Davis' work on Excalibur, I don't think anyone since then has used Rachel Summers as well. 

Pre con commission, done in 2010.

Welcome back to the hobby, man -- what a matchup here!

I love it...

I am the original owner of this art. 

I purchased It directly from Alan, via one of
his random art drops. He’d send an email out to everyone on his mailing list, saying a couple days later at, a specific time, he’d have art for sale on his website. 

It was all finished pencil sketches like this one, and they all got snapped up instantly. No published pages. All just finished pencils. 

Side note. It was the most expertly packaged piece of art I’ve ever received. I felt like I was opening a parcel from a museum. Lol

Thanks for the heads up on the page. It's very much appreciated.

Lovely (lovely) Davis piece, congrats !

Exceptionally nice piece of art.  Davis' pencils are a sight to behold!

Gorgeous pencils!

I'd love to get Mark Farmer to ink it. Anyhone have a contact?

Love the composition. The calm before the storm. Very nice!

A great piece by an incredible art team

Stunning piece by a contemporary comic art master.  Must be impressive in person

How have I completely missed this piece of CAF?!  Fantastic!

Such a cool piece, looked epic even by the pencil stage, congrats!
