Description
Many people rank Alan Davis as one of their top 5 X-Men artists and this cover is from his stint on the adjectiveless title from the late 90s. Apart from Mr Davis' profound artistic talent, what makes this cover remarkable is it significantly features the big bad himself, Galactus. A relatively rare combination with the X-Men, their paths have not crossed with Big G as often as other teams, such as the Fantastic Four. I particularly enjoy the angle of the illustration on the cover, the lighting, as well as the beatific, utterly indifferent look on Galactus' face, completely in character, while Prof X, Colossus, Storm and Nightcrawler plunge into peril. One of my favorite covers featuring Galactus, flawlessly executed by Mr Davis and Mr Farmer.

If Kirby is not a top 5 X-Men artist, at least Alan Davis is!

The mood is right
The X-Men up
We're here tonight
Alan's enough

Simply having a cover Galactus time
Simply having a wonder Galactus time

The party's on
The fear is here
His hunger comes
This time of year

Simply having a cover Galactus time
Simply having a wonder Galactus time

Atomic children sing their song
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Simply having a cover Galactus time
We're simply falling a cover Colossus time

The Davis now
About the town
Inks under glass
Oh, and don't look down

Simply having Mark Farmer Galactus line

The choir of children sing their song
Galactus all year long
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong

Great add!  I love Alan's work and, of course, X-Men, so this is a winning combo!

Outstanding cover! Galactus presents like a giant mountain as the X-Men plummet in peril.
