Alisa's
Tale by Al Davison - a short story about Dwarfism commissioned
by Nowgen/Manchester University in 2008 |
Al Davison
Link: www.astralgypsy.com
Creator of comics such as The
Spiral Cage, Al Davison was born in Newcastle in 1960,
with severe Spina-Bifida. Doctors said he would be dead within hours/days/weeks/etc.
and described by one expert as a complete vegetable (as opposed to a complete
meal).
The expert never specified which particular vegetable he meant, which
might go part of the way to explaining why Al is still alive and kicking and
is a vegetarian with a particular affinity for broccoli.
Al started drawing as a baby in the isolation unit that he spent the first two years of his life in. He decided he wanted to go professional aged three, had his first work published when he was seventeen and his first Graphic Novel published when he was twenty two.
He has had work published by Titan Books, DC Comics, Dark Horse comics, Victor
Gollancz, Wizards of the Coast, Sherpa (Amsterdam) amongst others, with titles
such as Hellblazer,
The Dreaming, Tainted, The
Spiral Cage (Autobiography), Vermillion and The
Minotaur's Tale. Spiral
Dreams, Al's illustrated dream diary, was published
by Slab-O-Concrete in 2000.
