Rob Davis is a British comics artist, writer, and editorial illustrator located in Blandford Forum, Dorset.
Davis' first professional work was on the association football comic magazine Roy of the Rovers, when it was relaunched by Fleetway Publications as a monthly title in 1993.
(The original title had concluded in March 1993 with Roy Race having crashed his private helicopter; readers were left not knowing if he was alive or dead.)
Davis submitted a four-page comic strip to a 2010 graphic short story competition sponsored by The Observer.
Although the submission, entitled "How I Built My Father," failed to win, it generated interest and Davis returned to comics with another short strip for the anthology Solipsistic Pop.
In 2011, Davis conceived of the idea of a collaborative graphic novel that would showcase the talent of the UK comics scene, made up of chapters by many creators.
Phoenix and Davis guided a team of 54 creators to produce 54 chapters of a single story about a woman named Nell.
