The Spirit artist Francisco Francavilla has released special tribute art in honor of Memorial Day.
The American holiday celebrates and honors men and women who died on the battlefield as members of the US military. The Italian-born Francavilla celebrated by releasing a special piece of art for the occasion. The picture, done in Francavilla's distinct style, showcases a lone American soldier still standing, despite an apparent (and potentially fatal) wound. Underneath the art, Francavilla wrote that the piece was "honoring those who gave their all."
Francavilla previously collaborated on other stories that paid tribute to the US military, such as the Sgt. Rock story "Going Down Easy" with Tom King for the DC Holiday Comic Special 2017. Francavilla has previously won an Eisner Award, an Eagle Award and an Inkwell Award for his comics work, which shows with the piece released today.
Francavilla is currently the primary artist on Dynamite Comics' current incarnation of The Spirit. His previous works include Afterlife with Archie, Hawkeye, Swamp Thing and Zorro. He is also known for his distinct cover work, on titles such as Jughead: The Hunger, Doctor Who and Marvel Zombies.
