We can only Marvel at Will Sliney’s talent.
The comic book artist, who has worked on Marvel projects such as Spider 2099 and Avengers + X-Men, has been paying tribute to his Irish roots over the Easter weekend with this magnificent homage to the leaders of the 1916 rebellion.
We had shared a half-done version of the drawing over the weekend, but now the whole thing is complete and it makes us really wish that the Easter Rising would be given its own graphic novel.
Here is the finished #1916Centenary drawing. RT if you like. High rez version for print here https://t.co/gsmtvkx9eQ pic.twitter.com/5sQMsgzNWd
