Guy Davis (1966- ) is a comic book artist primarily known for his work on Sandman Mystery Theatre and various Hellboy-related titles. He has also done work for various White Wolf, Inc. books as well has his own series, The Nevermen & The Marquis. He won the Eisner Award in 1997 and 2004.
A self-taught illustrator, Davis first tried his hand at cartooning with a strip that ran in his hometown newspaper during his high school years— which by all accounts is worth forgetting. It was after graduating and not really having any idea of what to do with himself outside of drawing, that he decided to try and continue in comics. In 1984, he created a tongue-in-cheek space opera “Quonto of the Star Corps” for the small press “Fantastic Fanzine”. Quonto was forgotten but the fanzine would later become Arrow Comics and lead to work on the comic series The Realm. After a few years at Arrow Comics, Davis' work on The Realm would take him to Caliber Press and his first creator owned series — the Harvey Award nominated Baker Street.
It was Baker Street that got his foot in the door at DC/Vertigo and bring him Sandman Mystery Theatre with Matt Wagner and Steve Seagle. Since then he has worked for most of the major comic publishers (including Mike Mignola's Eisner Award winning The Amazing Screw-On Head), along with providing numerous spot illustrations to the White Wolf roleplaying game series.
As of 2006, Davis is illustrating Mike Mignola’s ongoing B.P.R.D. series, the serial The Zombies That Ate The World for Metal Hurlant and continuing with his creator-owned series The Marquis for ONI Press. He currently resides in Crab Point, Michigan, with his fiancée, painter and sculptor Rosemary Van Deuren. They have a cat, a rabbit, two ferrets, and a couple of horse skulls named Becky and Conrad.
