Ilke's Davis Update

Ed Brubaker on working with Alan Davis on Captain America:

...Brubaker said he was excited to work with artist Alan Davis on "Captain America," enthusiastically labeling himself a "huge fan" of the artist's work since high school.

"I asked for him at some point and [the editors] said we couldn't get him. Then they were like, 'Maybe if you write to him and ask him,'" Brubaker said, recalling how Davis first came onboard. "So I wrote to him and said, 'Please do the book. I don't know if you've seen my work but it's more like Jim Steranko espionage stuff,' and he wrote back, 'Eh, it doesn't really sound like it's up my alley,' -- and then he took the job anyway!" laughed Brubaker.

The writer then praised Davis' work on the series, naming the veteran artist a "total pro."

"What I learned early on is that if you write a hardcore riot scene, Alan Davis will not only draw every person in the riot but he'll draw a story within it. He's a writer too, so he doesn't skimp on the details," Brubaker said, continuing, "And then he knocks it out of the park. He's still at the top of his game!"
