Davis began his career in comics on an English fanzine. His
first professional work was a strip called The Crusader for a revamped Marvel

Davis's big break was drawing the revamped Captain Britain story in Marvel Superheroes. He considered drawing as a hobby until Alan Moore (later to create The Watchman) took over writing duties on Captain Britain. Davis and Moore formed a close working partnership as creators working on 2000AD (home of Judge Dread).
