Buh-buh-buh-buh-Birth Page!
Whoa congrats James this is IT! OAX Rocks!
This piece would get so many comments if you wore a tie.
Awesome piece! Congrats!!
EPIC! LEGENDARY! INCREDIBLE!!! Such a history page, by a brilliant artist, for an amazing title! I loved Alan Davis' Excalibur and this just is wonderful!!!
Spectacular splash, the "Joy of Ex"calibur :-) Congrats James!
AKA Collector Coversations #2 art! That's huge and a great piece! Congrats!
Spectacular piece! Huge congratulations!
Congrats! Amazing piece!
I just reread this a few weeks ago and it's so strange and amazing to see this...huge congrats!!
Wow!
Amazing!!!
Awesome piece buddy
Not too Shabby. LOL! Congrats on acquiring this grail piece at the greatest comic art gathering ever.
Proud to have laid eye on this in person. You were GLOWING when you showed this to me. My jealousy gave way to pride in you, bravo.
You must be over the moon! Stunning and historic piece!
Wooowiee! Touchdown, Slam Dunk, Mike Drop!
I freaking love this piece. What a piece of history and nostalgia and...just everything. Congrats, buddy.
Nice Splash Page ! Congrats!
Banger. This love this page so much! Congrats James!
Stunning Work...Beaming with Charm and Personality!!......Congrats!!
Early contender for most commented! Let's keep it going! Seriously though, this is (obviously) fantastic! Congrats!
You've got my vote for best of CAF 2024!
Spectacular aquisition! Remember the heat on this book back in the day and this has got to be one of, if not the best image in the book! congrats.
Wow, this is fantastic. Congrats on adding this to your collection.
It ain't Rek-Rap, but it ain't bad. Haha! Just kidding. EXTRAORDINARY pick-up!! Historically significant yes, but also so beautifully drawn! I know how thrilled you are to acquire this one, and that is what this hobby is all about. O-A-X-CITING!
Wow...........!
WOW! Great example of the team by Davis. major Congrats!
The X-Event of the late 80's! Holds a special place for collectors of that time because of the subsequent success of the team through the years! Davis and Neary at their sharpest!
Q&A: Did the trade involve arm wrestling and your stash of body builder magazines?
Alas I no longer own any vintage muscle mags, but sacrifices had to be made!
Very cool!!
Amazing pickup, James! Big Congrats!
Can't get much better! Congrats!
👏👏👏👏 Bravo sir! Spectacular!
I was waiting for an epic drop. Congrats!
Incredible addition to your collection. A staple X team and to have their first appearance...Xcellent
Outstanding!
I feel like in our hobby, the word "historic" gets thrown away too quickly (whenever Aunt May changes dresses for example ^^) but this certainly qualifies where super heroes comics are concerned.
And if the naysayers could argue that the team is formed earlier in the book, I think anyone having read it remembers that gorgeous splash.
Very nice page indeed. Congrats again.
OH MY GOD
Gorgeous art, Davis' run on Excalibur (especially the first one with Neary's inks) will never receive enough praise. This splash is huge, in all senses!

Now that is an impressive piece of art, huge congrats!!
Boom! What a pick up! Congrats!
James, I have -always- considered your collection to be next level, but THIS?!? Holy moley... This is something that breaks through into the stratosphere (like the Phoenix Force itself)! No better way to put it than to say that, with laughter and transcendent joy, the dream of epic, classic original art is reconsecrated. (That just popped into my head, right now!) An incredible chunk of X-history, gorgeously drawn by Alan and Paul. OAX-sized congrats, James!!
Do you take first born children in trade? Asking for a friend.
DITTO!!!!
Your words move me!
That's probably just another earthquake...
Hey!!!' No padding the numbers!
Yesssss!!! Beautiful
Massive X history page, how was this even still available anywhere? Huge congrats, another huge milestone in your collection.
Awesome Page!!!!
A grail achieved. What a great page to own, my friend!
I am so curious as to what you had to give up for this piece. What an awesome score for you!!!
A great page from my childhood memories!
Major congrats my friend! Stunning art that makes you smile and feel good, and even join the team for all their upcoming adventures.
That is stellar! Kneel down!
The best page of the entire Excalibur series. Better than all the covers, better than any splash. If I had to have only one Excalibur page it would be this one. A marvel
I still need to read this run, but an Alan Davis splash page of the Excalibur team is still pretty stellar on its own (it's on my wishlist, and I haven't even read the books). Huge congrats on the pickup!
I hate you... I'm mean congratulations... grumble, grumble.
Was going to hold out to be the 100th comment, but what the hell. Congrats on this killer Alan Davis piece. Alan's work on these team books were just the best.
Wow, what an incredible piece of Davis Excalibur art to acquire. Congrats, man, you're gonna have to find some pretty heavy duty X-Men pieces to top this one, so it may all be downhill for the rest of 2024. You may have peaked really early this year, but I won't bet against you!
What in the world did you trade for this and do you bicycle to work now???
Quite possibly THE Excalibur page. Simply epic.
I remember this page vividly! What a score!!!
Brilliant! Loved the art and the story from this book when I was a kid and this holds up as great art and great nostalgia
"69, dudes!!" Thought of that Bill and Ted line as I'm comment 69 here.
I'm behind on commenting and this one's at the top of the list. Whew. What can I say that others have not. Christening of the new team, all characters I think of then I think "Alan Davis", all full figure big and bold AND smiling, "EXCALIBUR" also big and bold, THE start to renowned run for many of us...I guess I'll stop this run-on sentence here.
SINCERE congrats, brother!
That is a thing of beauty!
Such a wonderful birth page....so jealous. Huge congrats my friend.
Just going to pad the comment count here, since I can't gush any more vociferiously than has already been done. Congrats!
All about family! Congrats on this epic pick up, buddy. Treasure this one forever.
This is what made me realize that I need to go to OAX.
Wow, stunning! I'm lost for words.
The cover of this issue is a near perfect battle splash, but THIS image looks more like an Omnibus cover than an interior page. I have a deep appreciation of how Alan and Paul instill their illustrations with personality to the degree that facial expression and body language convey relationship, familiarity and personal regard. I remember reading this at the shop I worked and enjoying this page. Great piece.
Wonderful! Amazing collection
Stunning page!
Incredible piece from an otherwise impressive collection !
Love the smiling faces in this piece!
JAMES! This blows me away. Excalibur, especially the early issues, hold so much nostalgia for me. Seeing this...this is pretty darn wonderful! Huge ccongrats.
WOW!
