My 2025 Ink Recreation of an ALAN DAVIS unpublished interior page of pencils for DC Comics’ JLA: THE NAIL.

I INK. THEREFORE, I AM…AN INKER (as Descartes never said): Translating the PENCIL LINES of the COMIC GREATS into INK…just for FUN (and for sale--see below)!

Here’s my newly-inked version of an ALAN DAVIS unpublished interior page of pencils for DC Comics’ JLA: THE NAIL (1998) on the left, with the original pencils by the great Alan Davis on the right. This page was apparently replaced by a version that uses many of the same elements in different placements.

With apologies and respect to the original artists whose pencils I’ve ‘borrowed’ for these inking exercises. No original pencils were harmed in the making of these pieces. Long live the humble inker!
