Irish artist Will Sliney may be sad today about Fearless Defenders being cancelled, but on the plus side he’s a Hall of Fame nominee in the third annual Irish Comic News Awards. Selections were made via a secret seven-person panel; voting on the winners is open to the public and ends on November 1.
Sliney was nominated both for the creator Hall of Fame, and his Celtic Warrior: The Legend of Cú Chulainn was nominated for Hall of Fame comic.
