Great cover and love the way he drew Torch here. I know what you mean about getting it while it's cheap (or at least cheapER). Davis used to be one of my go-to affordable artists. While he's not quite in the stratosphere yet, the fact that I haven't been able to add a new piece by him in a few years tells me he might be on his way. At the same time, I don't know many collectors who have ever regretted plopping their money down for a Davis piece. One of the most talented and consistent artists in the business.
When Torch says his ex is a harpy, he really means it! Davis' composition is wonderful with the main action centered and the strike going vertical. It is wrapped around a circle made of the Torch, Lyja's wing, and the crowning waves in the sky!
My only critique of Alan Davis' work on the Fantastic Four is that there isn't nearly enough of it. Each time he depicts Marvel's First Family, it feels like a natural fit between artist and subject matter. Congrats on adding this gem to your collection!
Alan Davis is a master artist. Easily a first ballot hall of famer artist. Great piece!
