Paul Neary (who often inked Alan Davis) once pencilled an issue of Marvel 2-In-1 (or Team-Up; the one with Spider-Man) that had Alpha in it.Originally Posted by Crackity Jones
That's about as close as we've come.
Love it! that is so awesome!

I would like to do an AF related costume for him, but not sure how. Be cool to do Guardian
Found it.
The Flight Forever !
Yep, that's the one!
Sorry, didn't mean to make you go searching for it; I keep my AF collection next to my computer for just such emergencies.

oooh, I forgot that I have that team-up.
I *think* that is the one I have.
Like Le Messor, I have a lot of my AF stuff on my desk next to me, but it's because I kind of get separation anxiety if I put it all away.
It's a very good issue and Neary drew a very decent Alpha Flight.
Plus a Byrne cover = gold.
Aww, I think ahead. It was filed on top of some other of my very important read issues that I keep on my desk in a metal divider.
I must've known it'd be a special issue.
My fave from that issue:
Now I really, really REALLY want a Davis drawn AF series (I just went back and looked again at Le Messor's Davis Sasquatch sketch).
I know it's entirely too much to ask for.
But in my perfect world...
So true!
Have you read it yet? It takes place during Byrne's run, and ties into #s 14 to 16 (which then lead into Power Pack #s 9 and 10, also a good guest-appearance, but by Marrina only).
As Phil has said, it's colourful, tasteful, and one of the better guest appearances of Alpha known to man. And Paul Neary draws Sasquatch in a way that makes me think he's seen Byrne's version.
You'll know how precious that is eventually...
In MY perfect world, Peter David is writing it.
All that said, Scott (my Sydney friend who got me that sketch) did have to look up a picture of Sasquatch online and show it to Alan Davis.

Stop it. No way.
I was JUST going to say this is who I'd want to write a current AF series on another forum.
He'd be the most perfect writer for it. He's so damn great with characters and developing them.
oh god he'd be so perfect to write AF.
He's just so right for it.
And now I REALLY WANT THIS TO HAPPEN.
He's just so right for it.
Awesome wife is Awesome! As you may or may not know, I have been actively hunting down the orange Sasquatch (Bowen) statue for a very long time (for a reasonable price), because I have the rest of Alpha Flight - but only have the White Sasquatch (which, sure Walter was - but I want classic Walter!) Well for my birthday Awesome Wife Is Awesome got me...
Awesome!
