Sorry, that idea already occurred to me, but it can not be done. Facebook only allows name changes until a page gets 200 likes, and in this case that ship set sail long ago so it's set in stone. As far as I'm concerned, the page will remain unused with the link to this forum at the top for ever. How...

Perhaps your motives are more egocentric. You are right. I have to admit it was a power trip to manage a page with thousands of followers who ate up everything I posted with unbriddled enthusiasm. Naturally I got carried away and it all ended up in this mess. I'd like to extend my apologies to Ilke...

Yes, I was the sole responsible and I stand by that decision. I get your message of "no interest in Facebook" loud and clear, so I suspend definitely any activity whatsoever on the page. The page returns, effect immediate, to its prior status of abandonment. Furthermore, if you wish the page to be d...

I don't know if you have noticed, Alan, but "your" unofficial facebook fan page, started in 2008 and mostly inactive for the past four years, has been totally revamped in the last month: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Alan-Davis/42774461630 That's how a healthy, active FB page looks like. A new desig...

Since the unofficial fan page that bears your name sometimes receives comments and messages, both public and private, addressed at your person and/or asking to pass them forward to you, I have selected a few of the most interesting for your consideration: Alex Strath (http://www.facebook.com/alex.st...

Including me!

But seriously, could you perhaps elaborate on what you find lacking in Jean Giraud? I mean, is it just the art, the drawing style, or is it about the stories or the subject matter of his books? I'm really intrigued now...

I don't know if you saw this recent news that Jacques Tardi, one of France's most famous cartoonists, and widely published in English in the last few years,turned down the country's highest civilian honour: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-20893045 I was wondering what would you do if so...

I just realized you drew Mœbius' signature character Major Gruber from The Airtight Garage and Tetsuo from Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira in the nooks and crannies of the cover to MARVEL AGE #120 (January 1993): http://i50.tinypic.com/2yphn40.jpg Of course that's a cover full of prominent Marvel characters...

Thank you!

Still I'd really like to know if the amusingly risqué text card was wholly Alan's idea, since it's signed by him and seems in total concordance with the intent of the drawing...

Googling around, I just stumbled upon this picture: http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/0/77/137022-92236-excalibur.jpg ...but I can't find anything else about where it comes from. Glasgow '91 must be a reference to the UKCAC event of that year I guess. I'd like to know the origin and story...

I don't know if you're aware that Marvel is kick-starting a new OGN line with a 110 page Avengers book by Warren Ellis and Mike McKone: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=44512 According to the press release... "This movie-length epic launches an all new original graphic novel line f...

Well, having registered on facebook less than a year ago myself, after many years of hearing about it but not seeing the point, I can only offer poorly circular logic: the allure of it is exactly what you say, the fact that "so many people are prepared to sign up". For some reason, everybody is alre...

Trying to answer your question, Alan, that facebook page that somebody (I've tried to contact him but no answer yet) has created with your name: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Alan-Davis/42774461630 has 2280 likes . That means that over two thousand registered users of Facebook, that is, almost 2300 ...

This is not really/only addressed to Alan, but more to Matt Platis and Ilke: Do you know who's behind the facebook fan-page? : http://www.facebook.com/pages/Alan-Davis/42774461630 And more importantly, don't you think at this point it would be much better to move the board activity to facebook? I me...

Hopefully they'll reprint BLOODLUST now at long last.
