A Marvel Comic Illustrator Has Recreated All the Leaders of the 1916 Rebellion

Cork-born Will Sliney is an award-winning comics artist.

He currently illustrates Marvel’s Fearless Defenders series and has previously worked on Spiderman and The Avengers. He’s an insanely talented fellow.

The artist took to twitter to explain that he intended on drawing all 16 leaders and has been releasing the illustration in parts.

The work is still in progress.
