Comic illustrator Will Sliney - a Marvel of a man
The 31-year-old is displaying 14 of his prints at the Winterval Festival in Waterford City this week. This year, he worked on the Fearless Defenders comic book, the first Irish person to have his own 12-part series. He’s now working on the superstar of super-heroes, Spiderman.
Comics and graphic novels are so popular that cities are awash with industry conventions. Big publishing outfits, such as Marvel and DC, dispatch talent scouts around the world, including to Ireland, to fish for prodigies, but didn’t a decade ago, when Sliney, from Ballycotton, in Co Cork, graduated from a multimedia course at Cork Institute of Technology.
