A note about the recently-released Krypton Companion (TwoMorrows Publishing) - I've had a chance to look through it, and it does not contain any artwork by Alan Davis.

ITEM!

A minor note:

The Creation of the Fantastic Four (Rosen Publishing Group), a recent hardcover release that takes a 'kid-friendly' look at the, well, creation of the FF, includes Alan Davis and Mark Farmer's depiction of the FF from the last page of Fantastic Four (Vol.3) #1. Unlike most books of its ilk which don't credit the artists responsible for the illustrations (boo!), Alan is credited with having drawn that piece (yay!) in the caption beside the illo. (But alas, Mark Farmer gets no such glory.)
