Biography

Career

A self-taught illustrator, Guy Davis began cartooning with a comic strip that ran in his hometown newspaper while Davis was still in school. After graduating, he continued working towards a career in comics, and in 1984, he created the tongue-in-cheek space opera "Quonto of the Star Corps" for the small press “Fantastic Fanzine”. "Quonto" was not a success, but the fanzine would become Arrow Comics and lead to work (for Davis) on the comic series "The Realm". After a few years at Arrow, Davis' work attracted the editors of Caliber Press, who published his first creator-owned series — the Harvey Award-nominated "Baker Street".

It was the success of "Baker Street" that got Davis work with DC Comics/Vertigo. He illustrated "Sandman Mystery Theatre" with Matt Wagner and Steve Seagle. Since that time, he has worked for Marvel Comics illustrating "Deadline", and provided artwork and designs for the animated pilot of Mike Mignola's "The Amazing Screw-On Head".

He also produced numerous spot illustrations to the White Wolf role-playing game series.

Davis continues to work, illustrating Mike Mignola’s ongoing "B.P.R.D." series, the serial "The Zombies That Ate The World" for Métal Hurlant, and continuing his creator-owned series "The Marquis" following its move to Dark Horse Comics.
